I thought this was a joke but it looks like you can actually add these to your shopping cart.

These items seem mean-spirited and I'm not sure what its supposed to accomplish.

I like how they use the Chrome logo in a bunch of places. Not like the IE brand set developer productivity back 10 years or anything. Not to mention resources lost to dealing with IE 6/7/8.

Reframing the competition. You know, it's not voter suppression, it's anti-voter-fraud. Etc.

I also thought it was a joke but it seems to be real. But one way to improve morale in an organization is to make fun of the enemy.

I guess they are resorting to selling apparels to make up some revenue.

Who knows, in 10 years, Microsoft may becoming the next Gap.

I think these are kinda neat. Looks like something sold by the FSF rather than, um, Microsoft. Surprised that they don't feature IE/Office365 logos anywhere.

All I see is a signup form and some meta links.

Hope the new CEO puts an end to this nonsense and invests the money into improving Bing instead.
