The residents of Silicon Valley are more confused than usual
after a billboard campaign by the National Multiple Sclerosis
Society of America used this line in an ad slogan:
"MS: It's not a software company."
Requests for comments on this campaign, which exploits the fame
of a certain company to draw attention to an altogether worthier
cause, have been met by a surly silence by Microsoft which
doesn't relish this association of ideas, but is painfully aware
that it can't afford to appear insensitive over such an issue.
Seasoned IT professionals will have no trouble telling the two
MS's apart:
One is a debilitating and surprisingly widespread affliction that
renders the sufferer barely able to perform the simplest task.
The other is a disease.
