...if this is bullshit?

'Cause if it ain't... Those assholes at Microsoft deserve to get canned!

I mean, apparently this thing is for real. But it just can't be!

This is fake, right? Right Microsoft? Just like the Zune, right?

Right?!?!?

UPDATE: Apparently there are "Remixes" out there using Songsmith! Check 'em out.

UPDATE 2: I not only lost the internet race, I came in last place! I'm a retard. But seeing how this is The Stranger, like the special olympics.... "Everyone's a winner!"

I will now stick to writing about old folk music and bad records stores.

How about checking the internet at least 1 time a month before wondering so much.

For your the record, those folks are not getting "canned." They are getting laid off. Whether you like Microsoft products or not; honest, hard-working people that contribute to YOUR community are being forced out the door.

It is healthy to question the business decisions and morals of corporations that inherit our collective backyard. Hell, I'm writing this comment on a MacBook. However, it is ignorant to suggest that 5000 individuals are "assholes" because their management determined they had to reduce employment numbers.

And those "assholes" are the same people who buy the goods and services advertised on The Stranger. Unless The Stranger is funded by some unknown endowment (and judging by the relatively new ads showing up in my RSS reader, I'd guess not), you better hope those "assholes" find new jobs soon.
