Out of frustration.

See, even you didn't get the joke. The joke isn't about frustrated users grabbing something (hammer) and smashing their computers. The image, seemingly, makes the statement that Microsoft thinks the only way to improve Windows XP is by destroying your PC and/or laptop. But the joke doesn't work, because it doesn't make sense even on that level.

Was the joke about frustrated Windows users?posted by dennisn on January 13th, 2009 at 10:30AM
I'm pretty sure that was the joke. Though, of course, there are no absolute guidelines to it's interpretation, regardless of the author's intentions.
(Your assumption that it implies that Windows has already reached a state of perfection is .... ughhh .... pretty naive.) Poll: Was the joke about frustrated Windows users?No (1/2) 50% Yes (1/2) 50% (The title of your last reply gets polled.)

>Was the joke about frustrated Windows users?
It couldn't be. Microsoft releases service packs. The hammer is supposed to be an official Microsoft service pack... yes? So the joke is that Microsoft thinks that Windows is so broken that the only way to fix is to smash your laptop with the provided hammer (I still don't think it really makes sense or is clever or funny). For all we know, the users are happy.

Err..where did I say that? I explained the joke to you because you didn't get it.
