"Considering the way they drove Netscape/Mozilla/Firefox into near oblivion with devious practices, this seems a lot like sending a valentine’s day card to your rape victim, every year." - from the comments on the original article.
But seriously, it's a nice gesture from Microsoft, it goes to show that there are many different people working there and that we can't judge them as a whole.
- blub 16y agoThe comparison to rape is in VERY poor taste and you certainly didn't have to copy it here.
- CWIZO 16y agosheesh lighten-up a little. I find the comparison spot on. Not that I'm saying that what Microsoft did can literary be compared to rape and the horrors it puts a victim trough. I just thought it's a nice metaphor sigh
- sorbus 16y agoIt's not a metaphor, it's a simile.
- lancefisher 16y agoA simile is a metaphor.
- sorbus 16y agoNo, it's a figure of speech. A metaphor is also a figure of speech, but similes are not a subtype of metaphors (I went to look it up both before my last statement and before this one, because I refuse to believe my own memory. You might want to do the same).
- lancefisher 16y agoSo would you say a simile is like a metaphor?
