If it bothers you that Microsoft's corporate name gets turned into puerile jokes, it seems the way to counter that is to correct people when they do it.  Otherwise you're just raising the stakes of childishness.  Other people who come along will see your comments and feel there's nothing wrong with slinging some mud at their own personal subject of distaste, and the next thing you know we're all back in the monkey house flinging poo at each other.

I had a miserable time in high school.  I left that behind me almost twenty years ago: I have no desire to see us revert back to that level of thinking.
