@dinolovessassy It's sophomoric comments like this that support the argument that "young adults" cannot be taken seriously.

@conorucd I am sorry you do not speak English, good day.

@conorucd

Thank you! You just proved my statement with your unintelligible response.

[conorucd]

@dinolovessassy

I believe Paul is 45 but I guess I can see what you are saying.

[dinolovessassy]

...and why does the intro cartoon looks like Paul and Mary Jo are in their 20s-30s?

They're in their 50s.

It's no wonder young adults don't care about Microsoft products.

[dinolovessassy]

There are 100 reasons why MS should buy RIM.

They have no control over Nokia's hardware to compete against multiple Android vendors.

No single company is going after the Corporate Market.

They should replace BES with a Microsoft Mobile Server product.

Ballmer needs to stop trying to compete with the iPhone.
