This is absolutely hilarious

For all its money, and all its workers across most continents of the world, Microsoft has been seemingly best at producing lousy bug ridden software and some really funny "faux pas." As RS says about this one, "that's what happens when you get your vocabulary from rap music."

Microsoft has also managed to upset women and entire countries. A Spanish- language version of Windows XP, destined for Latin American markets, asked users to select their gender between "not specified," "male" or "bitch," because of an unfortunate error in translation.

Another blunder from Microsoft involved the use of chanting of the Quran as a soundtrack for a computer game, which was roundly denounced by the government of Saudi Arabia.The company later issued a new version of the game without the chanting, keeping the previous editions in circulation because Microsoft's U.S. staff thought this wouldn't be spotted. But the Saudi government banned the game and demanded an apology. Microsoft then withdrew the game.
