    Microsoft

    There tag line for Windows is

    "Life Without Walls"

    Now, I'm no buildings expert but surely to have Windows you need walls of some description to put them into.....

    True, but I think they're trying to play the angle that where there is a window there is no wall.

    All a point crap if you ask me, if you need to explain your tag line it's not good enough.

    Re: Microsoft

    By that logic would they not be better off calling there product "Doors" instead.

    A window just shows you whats outside, sort of like a woman wearing see thru underwear, look but dont touch

    With a door the wall becomes irrelivant as you can walk thru the door and go somewhere, the window just teases you with whats out there, and I'm pretty sure Microsoft wouldnt recommend you go diving out of windows...
