That was pretty hilarious, but more that a flaw in the interface, I think it just shows that a lot of the CNET "experts" are noobs when it comes to how people today actually use technology.

True, Microsoft doesn't hold your hand and tell you what is or isn't appropriate to use your personal message for. But a little common sense is in order. Should anyone really be expected to understand that Crets' "JAPAN" message meant that he would be travelling to Japan next week!?

A better message would've been "Travelling to Japan next week." Duh.

I wish these so-callled experts would take a liberal dose of common sense, suck up their pride and take responsibility for their own poor communication skills rather than blaming the software.

Maybe they're just out of touch?
