Oh, not your customers. It's a joke from Microsoft and your customers is 
but another pack lured into buying it. :-) Gods, I cannot help it, but 
Microsoft's sales and marketing depts are nothing short to genious. They 
can really sell everything :-) Whatever you have, don't go to eBay, give 
it to MSFT, they do sell :-) :-)

Nono, an afterwork beer is the best reason for any setlement. Try it if 
you can and you'll enjoy more than your share :-)

Begone. It's not my mother tongue either, I surely mistake as much as 
anyone else. The core of your words has been more than understood, 
that's all that matters. If you think yourself misunderstood, just drink 
another few pints... Wether you are happy or wether you just believe you 
are, what's the heckin' difference? :-) :-)
