It's a funny joke if you're making a pun on its vacuum function being "sucking", but if you're just using it as a joke that applied to Microsoft then you're not using the pun and just making an almost-joke of "their product is bad".

I'm making a pun, just as the MS joke used the same pun.

For people who don't know, the joke is"

"What is the only product that MS can make that won't suck?"

"A vacuum cleaner."
