Aww, it was hilarious while it lasted. I knew I should have copied the page while it was there.

Apparently there is a little work related stress at Microsoft. Someone placed a help topic about RTFM, "Read The F***ing Manual" for idiots asking ridiculously simple questions of the Microsoft help people. It had several links at the bottom to related topics like "HOWTO: Read" and "HOWTO: Get a job at McDonald's"

All I could think of as I read it and laughed out loud was, "This poor guy wouldn't last a day at the BYOND Newbie Central forum."

Looks like it's an engineered webpage, actually... someone used a Microsoft-based URL-redirection to point to their personal webpage.

yea, someone made that up much like you'd make up your own error page ;)

If you look closely, the server is actually hardware.no . The microsoft.com part at the begining is just a really lengthy subdomain of hardware.no cleverly disguised to look like the actualy server. Rather impressive, I must say... and hilarious to boot.
