   Microsoft is well known for such technically correct, but generally   
   useless crap:   
      
   A helicopter was flying around above Seattle when an electrical   
   malfunction disabled all of the aircraft's electronic navigation and   
   communications equipment.   
   Due to the clouds and haze, the pilot could not determine the   
   helicopter's position. The pilot saw a tall building, flew toward it,   
   circled, and held up a handwritten sign that said "WHERE AM I?" in   
   large letters. People in the tall building quickly responded to the   
   aircraft, drew a large sign, and held it in a building window. Their   
   sign said "YOU ARE IN A HELICOPTER."   
   The pilot smiled, waved, looked at his map, determined the course   
   to steer to SEATAC airport, and landed safely. After they were on the   
   ground, the copilot asked the pilot how he had done it.   
   "I knew it had to be the Microsoft Building, because they gave me   
   a technically correct but completely useless answer."
