"Microsoft spokesman crashes while giving Press Conference"

Earlier Today Microsoft spokesman The Rock sensationally crashed mid-sentence while giving a press conference. Microsoft technicians postponed the conference, about the prospective launch of a fondu set add-on for the x-box, while they attempted to reboot the Rock. Unfortunately the conference was then cancelled when it emerged that the Rock would need to be completely formatted and have each component seperately reinstalled. The strange events were particularly harrowing for Mrs.Rock, the Rock's beleaguered mother. Speaking exclusively to this newspaper she said:
"I was so happy when he got himself a proper job, where he didn't have to wear spandex pants to work everyday, and began to stop talking about himself in the third person. Things were looking up but now he's completely different; he doesn't remember anything."

Microsoft technicians said that the route of the problem lay with the Rock's refusal to upgrade himself to Windows XP until Service Pack 1 was released. Said one technician, Fritz the Cat, "Rocky's working fine at the moment but he should have upgraded, you know. We advice all our clients to do the same."

Thanks to new Windows XP technology Bill Gates was able to continue a recent publicity shoot when one of his eyes crashed. At the time he commented "Thank god for new XP technologies that mean if one component crashes, your system doesn't!" However, Gates was dismayed to discover that when his eye was rebooted it was no longer compatible with XP and that drivers for his model were no longer available.

If you haven't already upgraded to XP then watch out, you could be next...

Hehe! Well done!

That's the shortest GAD win I've ever seen on SR! But well done anyway.

The silicon transistors decided to go back to work after Nintendo offered them a nice liquid-nitrogen cooled working environment with payed holidays and full health cover, with share options after 5 years.

Unfortunately this has resulted the Light Emiting Diodes on the front of the Gamecube striking. The upshot of all of this is that the Gamecube will now cost £1000, to cover contract costs, and you won't be able to use it for 2 months during the summer, while the components take their payed leave.
