As the name implies, it lampoons some of Microsoft's activities and business practices, but does so in a very tasteful way. I think that readers of IP -- even those who work for Microsoft itself -- will find this site to be quite amusing. Hint: Try clicking the mouse on the squares of the game board and watch what happens. (On many browsers, the pop-up window will not come to the front when you click on a new square unless you've closed the previous pop-up; this is due to a longstanding bug in JavaScript.) The pages reached by clicking on the caption "I'm so mad I could sue!" are also quite amusing. --Brett Glass
