A CD that has been spawned at MicroSoft.
An Apple engineer once said "They say, if you play a MicroSoft CD backwards, you can hear satan. But that's nothing. Play it forward and it installs Windows! :O"

A tawdry software program, usually bundled free by lower-end computer manufacturers, in an effort to keep their PC hardware prices low. Microsoft Works has become a byword for format incompatibilities and system crashes.
"Tarquin, I am sorry you can't do the MS Word homework that your teacher set you for school, but daddy went for the cheap option, hence you will have make do with this godawful Microsoft Works program. I am so sorry."

The portion of the cost of a new computer that goes towards the Microsoft Windows license typically attached to it. Typically used derogatively in the free software community, which consists of people who would rather have no operating system supplied with their new PC. Due to the tactics of Microsoft towards computer manufacturers, this is rarely possible, unless the computer is a Macintosh.
Guy: I want a new PC to run Ubuntu, and I'd rather not pay the Microsoft Tax, but I don't have the time or know-how to put together a PC from scratch.
Other Guy: That sucks. Microsoft should stop being such greedy pigs.
Guy: I know!

Slang term for the new Chromium version of their failed Microsoft Edge browser.
Does that mean Microsoft Credge will get the crappy scrolling and touch input of Chrome?

Quite possibly the coolest thing Microsoft has created since the Xbox 360 in 2005. It is a tablet with an interface like its sister product Windows 8. The coolest feature is the ability to attach a soft keyboard that doubles as a cover, dubbed Touch Cover, while putting the tablet up on a built-in stand. So it's almost a touchscreen laptop.
Microsoft Surface proves that Microsoft can be a little like Apple, sometimes.

Someone who boners over Windows, Zune, Xbox, anything Microsoft. Not quite as cancerous as Apple fanboys, as they will run themselves into debt to get the latest iDevice that has only minor improvements over the previous generation and still uses the same locked down shitty OSes.
Metro gives me a boner. Muhgawd I am such a Microsoft fanboy.
