Microsoft won't use PlayStation Home, will keep meetings boring


Despite taking part in a cost-saving virtual conferencing initiative, Microsoft has told CVG that it will not be using PlayStation Home to facilitate cheaper, virtual meetings. The company insisted that it had access to everything -- including Live Meeting and Xbox Live's party system -- needed to "host a virtual meeting in-house" ... and not in Home.

It's probably best not to indirectly endorse your competitor's efforts, but just think of how excruciatingly boring meetings will be without Sony's eccentric virtual haven:

"And that's why, by altering our predicted life-to-date replacement ratio matrix, our profits will positively sway our exponential yield curve. Joan, do you understand?"

"Mark, I've got some curves for you right here. They're swaying."

"And so ... spontaneously at that. Why do I have the sudden urge to start gyrating in rhythm to non-existent music?"

"Come on, do the robot with me!"

"Oh yeah, doin' the robot! Damn, Joan, how big are your measurements, 'cos they
do not compute."

"Ugh ... why do men become cretins in Home? Also, it's not Joan. It's Joe."

"As in Joe-Ann or OH CRAP YOU'VE SUDDENLY BECOME A HIDEOUS AND UNDESIRABLE MAN!"
