I know, Linux wants to be popular like Windows...

I so should have grabbed a screenshot. This morning we had a bit of a network outage at the office, and Evolution, my mail client, was having a terrible time contacting the office's Exchange server.

Apparently, there is a message box that sometimes comes up on Vista with the big "X" symbol and the message "ERROR: The operation was successful." Well, you know, we Linux geeks, we never see anything like that.

Wouldn't you know it, but today the mail client gave me this popup: "ERROR: There was a problem contacting XCHNGSRVR16. The error message was: Success."

Hmph.

I wonder if Exchange is sending back an error numeric with the text "Success".

That's it! We can still blame it on Windows!

This is a triumph.

I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS

Gah...

...that song was the unofficial theme song for the con I just went to it seemed. Everyone was humming it, and the entire room attending the stand-up comedy acts started singing it part-way through until we had a good 50 people that did it from start to finish. =^.^=

It is an awesome song, but gah... juat gah!

The hope has always been that Linux would become as popular as Windows...

...but hopefully, not in the manner that Windows has become popular. :)
