Vía Lockergnome descubro que Richard Forno publicó el Diccionario Microsoft-Inglés, que va por la versión 1.5 y trata de explicar qué quiere decir realmente Microsoft. Aunque esta última versión data de noviembre del 2001, no ha perdido vigencia. Algunas muestras:

"Notepad" - (1)(n) - Book of paper for jotting notes down. (2)(n) - The *most* stable and secure program Microsoft has ever developed. (3)(n) - Only reliable way to write code under any Windows Operating System. (Burns)

"GPL" - (1)(n) - Gnu Public License. A kind of open source license that is unacceptable to Microsoft because it is viral (see "viral") and cannot be stolen or integrated (see "integration:) (Stross)

"Cross-Platform" - (1)(n) - Industry standard definition for a product that runs on multiple computing environments (See "Platform"). (2)(n) - Microsoft's marketing term used to mean a product that runs on any of Microsoft's 'platforms.' (e.g., Microsoft's Java is 'cross-platform' since it runs on Windows 95, 98, 2000, ME, and XP.)

Sería estupendo poner esto en un Wiki ;)
