“Hi Doc,

see what I have just received. An email from a friend of mine who uses MSN Hotmail. Yes, despite of that he’s still a friend. The footer of the email contained this image:

Now is Microsoft trying to earn street cred with this wannabe gangsta clipart? lol

Just wanted to share…Cheers,

Phil”

The really sad thing is it looks like Phil’s friend actually had to add that graphic to his Hotmail signature himself. Microsoft provides instructions on how to add these “hardcore” graphics to your Hotmail Beta signature. In addition to pretending you are a “gangsta“, you can apparently also pretend you are a medieval knight, or an airline pilot.

SWEEET.

Oh my god, how damn stupid can Microsoft still become ? I can’t believe that they now even have those funny signatures - but the thing that really make me laugh are the people who seem to be proud of being such beta testers for Microsoft products ?!

Agreed. Windows appears to be appealing to th pre-teen audience now as those are those only people who they can still brainwash.

The funny thing is: that letter on the Ring is no B. It’s actually a Letter from the German Alphabet called “esszet” Its used in some cases instead of a double ss.
