[Sigia-l] WhatsWrongWithU

Like many products of late from Microsoft targeting competitive consumer
markets, the XBox has been a *financial* disaster, costing the company
billions in trying to buy marketshare, only to be propped up by the sheer
incompetence of its main rival Sony. The slow uptake of XBox 360 in
Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea has been a problem for Microsoft.

So like any other "user-centric" company Microsoft has decided to blame the
user: they've launched "WhatsWrongWithU.com". No, I'm not making it up. You
can go there, email Microsoft and tell them what's wrong with you.

Has anyone seen another example of a site purely dedicated to blaming
(potential) customers for not buying a company's product? Or is this pure,
edgy, counter-culture Redmond genius at work again?
