Microsoft bans the word "Microslop" on its Discord, then locks the server

I have a "quotes.txt" from slashdot days with some MS jabs in it:

> Last week, I left my 2 XP CDs on my dashboard in plain view. Someone broke into my car and left 2 more.

> The day Microsoft makes a product that doesn't suck is the day they make a vacuum cleaner.

> A Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer is to computing what a McDonalds Certified Food Specialist is to fine cuisine

Juvenile some might say, but they still makes me giggle.

Greetings fellow old person. You totally took me back to 2000. And here’s me thinking I was the only one harvesting pithy quotes from /.

I always loved the “doesn’t suck vacuum”, but amazingly never came across the Win98 CD line. Love it.

"The only Microsoft product that doesn't suck is the Microsoft vacuum cleaner."

That's what I remember. And true to this day.

Thanks for making me feel old. I remember reading slashdot a lot and also freshmeat.net to find new interesting software. I don't think I like the modern software experience, by comparison. It's all shoddy rehashing of the client/server model, where the client is crap and slow, and so is the server.
