    Thank you for using Mircosoft products

    We received some MS partner program stuff in the post (coz the company I work for is an MS partner)
    Anyways. Looking through the bumf I found a rather entertaining typo.

    Mircosoft - Sounds like something Del Boy would knock out.

    So many possible reasons, one could be that their proof readers are all based in a non-native-English speaking country, much like their support staff?

    Re: Thank you for using Mircosoft products

    I rather like the name Mircosoft - has something about it

    Seriously though - this stuff happens a lot. We just had a new trainee in who setup a stack of machines and mispelt our company name too.

    We didn't fire him, fortunately nobody had send the systems out so there was time to fix it. He does get a lot of stick now though
