Microsoft Launches Clothing Line, Called Softwear
The following news story is not as much hardware related as our site usually does, but it is funny enough to make your whole week better and even good enough to provide with clothing some of you. Microsoft, the monopolist in software industry, has announced a new line of clothing, in partnership with rapper Common, called Softwear. I'm not joking, now you can be 101% original by wearing Microsoft clothes. It's Microsoft's turn to set the trend in clothing;
"This collection inspired and created by Common exhibits the parallels between two groundbreaking movements of the 80s: personal computing and hip-hop. Microsoft, and Common, pioneers of their respective crafts, pushed the envelope of what was expected and even what was accepted. Through lyrical expressions and enabling connectivity, the world was changed. That's something worth celebrating."
The first shirts will be sold via Urban Outfitters, with more products being sold at specialty stores in New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Atlanta. Take a look at the Softwear official site.

I would never in my right mind wear softwear branded clothing and will forever look down upon those that day. Mwahahahaha!
oh, and what happens when your $50 shirt rips? buy a $25 patch that says "Service Pack" of course!
