You might wait for the service pack
It’s about time Microsoft did something like this:
Microsoft has updated its popular Not Responding 2007 with a new multimedia version, that automatically reduces the amount of work done on a computer by wiping the last hour’s worth.
“Not Responding 2009 is a whole new paradigm shift,” said Ned Holliday, Microsoft’s UK avatar MD. “It’s no longer enough to let people down with a simple system crash. Gone are the days of raging at a one dimensional system failure.” Holliday explained that modern professionals are demanding to be let down in a range of communications media, whether it’s voice over wifi, Skype, web conferencing or just using Microsoft’s plain old instant mortification.
As always, there’s method to this madness:
“Executives in corporations across the globe are being asked to prove their worth to the company, or walk,” said a Microsoft spokesman, “the risk of exposure is critical. So they’ve never needed a system failure more than now,” he said in a press statement written by hand, after his Word document had mysteriously wiped itself.
I have been unable to confirm that AIG is already using this new product to track bonuses.

If it doesn’t instantaneously delete its victim’s clothing during an important meeting, I’m not impressed.
I mean, how often do I have to pitch this feature before they include it?
