The residents of Silicon Valley are more confused than usual after a
billboard campaign by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society of America
used this line in an ad slogan:

             "MS: It's not a software company"

...exploiting the fame of a certain company to draw attention to an
altogether worthier cause. Requests to comment on the campaign have been
met by a surly silence by Microsoft, which doesn't relish the
association of ideas, but is painfully aware that it can't afford to
appear insensitive over such an issue.

Seasoned information technology professionals will have no trouble
telling the two MS's apart: One is a debilitating and surprisingly
widespread affliction that renders the sufferer barely able to perform
the simplest task. The other is a disease.
