Microserfs
Microsoft has launched a "private beta" of its new subscription version of Office. The code name for the project? Albany. That's prompted some funny sentences, like this one from the Silicon Valley Insider: "The other problem with Albany is that it just an automated downloading and updating of client-side software." Yes, that's exactly the problem. (Thanks, Stephen!)

Ahhh...I thought they called it Albany because it's dysfunctional.

Gee Rob, if Microsoft's gonna name its dysfunctional software after dysfunctional city governments, I wonder if Microsoft itself is contemplating changing its name to "Detroit?"
