What a fucking joke. It’s great that there’s a ‘significant Silverlight announcement’ being made on Monday. But why you have to dial in to hear it via a teleconference call by Scott is beyond us.

And check out the special instructions: Participants will need to speak the passcode “Silverlight”.

Scott, you are our hero man – so how have the press dicks managed to force your announcement to be made in this prehistoric fashion? Microsoft – what the fuck are you thinking?

Microsoft returns to the dark ages

And yes, we will be dialing in. The news will be available here once announced.
