[并非笑话]当Borland的工程师向微软寻求技术支持时

一个并非笑话的真实故事

当Borland的工程师开发Delphi2005时遇到了一个IE兼容问题，他打电话向微软的支持部门寻求技术支持，猜猜微软是如何回答的？

MS：“Delphi? Isn't that a Borland product?”
Borland：“Yes it is.”
MS：“I think you're going to have to call Borland then.”
挂机。经过努力的解释，客户服务小姐又为Borland的工程师接通技术支持电话。
MS: “Do you have any sample code that will demonstrate the problem?  I'm not familiar with the changes that went into that patch.”
Borland: “Sure, I can put something together.”

MS: “Is it in VB or VC++?”
Borland: “Uh, no.  It's written in Delphi.”
MS: “Well, we won't be able to work with that since we don't support Delphi.”
Borland: “OK.. It's going to take a while and I have some serious deadlines coming up.  In fact we may have to release the product with

MS: “I understand, but there is no-one here that can read Delphi code.”
