slip ups

you know, we're all human. we all make mistakes. but, i really love it when Microsoft does something REALLY wrong.

this morning, a new front page for MSN launched, complete with "a special message to you from Bill Gates" (gag). And, yeah, all the links are moved around from where they were before (yay, now I have to try to find stuff again)

The best thing was, clicking under the face of Bill, to read a news article about the most recent soldier killed in Iraq, I got a dead link. In fact, ALL THREE are dead links. Sports worked, but MSNBC news didnt. I thought maybe it was because I was blocking pop-ups, but that didnt fix it.

So, Bill, I think today I'm finally switching my default home page. Three strikes, you're out. You are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.

And hello, Google news.

Update (10:16am) the links now work, but are now pointing to different articles (not the ones they reference.) Hey Microsoft, pull your head out of your ass and make sure it works before it goes live. This isnt a hardware failure!
