Doesn't seem to work on Mozilla 1.7.12 or Opera 9.0 P1 either.

wow. 5 JavaScript errors and 6 JavaScript warnings, including a depreciated statement usage and assignment to an undeclared variable. The people that 'coded' this site really aught to be WE-SYP'd.

Did you know that 1% of bugs cause an incredible
50 % of all operating and system errors,
well thanks to our windows XP error reporting
dialogue box we do, as a result we’ve reduced
system errors in our consumer products by over 80%.
The success of this feature has encouraged us to extend it for you,
the professionals, we know your job depends on stable systems
and as our research has shown the pain of system failure is real,
we believe if our customers are experiencing pain
Microsoft employees should share their pain with them,
this is where ‘we share your pain’ or WE – SYP comes in.

Its really fundamentally about making us as programmers,
as developers, the tecchie side of things if you like,
making us more accountable to the people
that are using our products, an error box comes up,
like this one for example, what the WE – SYP system does
it actually analyses the stack sent back by that error dialogue box,
it uses that to identify the person, the actual programmer
that wrote the piece of code that’s caused the problem.
We can now see that it’s Mike Poultney
in the active directories team, we can now decide on
what way we want to express the frustration he’s caused us,
so we can choose one of the options here,
I’m going to choose the jab, I’ll just actually,
I’ll just turn up the volume here because we can hear him as well,
its all part of the experience and here we go,
oohhhh there you go, yeah he’s still suffering from that right now
Let’s take a look at the technology behind this great breakthrough

http://microsofttech.fr.edgesuite.net/msexp/p … iapositive2.jpg

The first feature I’m going to talk to you about
is called the micro-stun, this is connected to a cranked up
TENS machine, the electricity will generate
through these arm sleeves.

http://microsofttech.fr.edgesuite.net/msexp/p … iapositive3.jpg

Micro-impact ok, four stages, the back of the chair releases
back and thrusts forward into the person sitting, into the chair.
Yeah, very good.

http://microsofttech.fr.edgesuite.net/msexp/p … iapositive4.jpg

Micro-jab, two needles are released from the bottom of the chair,
into the fleshy part of the buttocks, un-orthodox in some ways
but it’s very effective, it’s more people related.

Microsoft has got the best programmers we hope,
in the world and this program will help them to share,
understand the users in a very direct way.
We want to experience what the user goes through.
I’m really keen to get in touch with the customers.
The more commitment that we can show and the better we can get
by doing this, then I think that’s good news for everybody.
The future also looks exciting, we are developing
WE – SYP ejection, a staff motivational feature
that pinpoints programmers with poor bug ingress records.
Amazingly while making this film, we witnessed
the first ever WE – SYP ejection at Microsoft UK office.
Mark, pan round pan round

That's about what I could glean from it.

Yes, it’s my fault.

This was really funny I must admit 😁

So what if it's Microsoft's.
