You are joking, right Ken?

I wonder what genius at MS came up with that one - sounds like something Steve Ballmer would state in a company-wide email.

The concept is as absurd as the following scenario:

Developer delivers app to customer. Customer comes back to developer:

Customer: “The trial balance report crashes as well as the remote check printing.”

Developer: “You didn’t say you didn’t want it to crash.”

Customer: “It goes without saying.”

Developer: “It is not specified in your requirements. The non-crash feature will take an additional 200 hours for the trial balance report and 300 hours for remote check printing.”

Customer: “Are you kidding?”

Developer: “Absolutely not. We consider this a feature.”

Customer: “We’ll see about that!”

Developer (anticipating a problem) employs John Peterson to frustrate and confuse the customer.
