Painfully True
The residents of Silicon Valley are more confused than usual after a
billboard campaign by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society of
America used this line in an ad slogan.
"MS: It's not a software company."
Exploiting the fame of a certain company to draw attention to an
altogether worthier cause. Requests to comment on the campaign have
been met by a surly silence by Microsoft which doesn' t relish the
association of ideas, but is painfully aware that it can' t afford to
appear insensitive over such an issue.
Seasoned IT professionals will have no trouble telling the two MS's
apart:
One is a debilitating and surprisingly widespread affliction that
renders the sufferer barely able to perform the simplest task.
The other is a disease.
