At a recent Microsoft Conference.

Speaker at the podium - "With this, we conclude our session on the power of Windows Vista and Office 2007. Any questions"?

One hand shot up.

"Yes M' am. Go ahead"

"I have a VB component and it is not working in Vista. What is the problem. Can I use VB applications in Vista?"

"Absolutely M' am. You can use VB applications. What is the error that you are getting?"

"It says some DLL not registered. This error is killing me. There is no help available on this" getting a little bit agitated.

"M' am. You can send your code to me. I can try to...."

"I can't find a solution for this. I have been working for months to fix it.  EVEN GOOGLE DOESN'T GIVE ANY HELP".

:-(

The whole auditorium erupted. It probably took a couple of seconds for her to realize why everyone were laughing.

"M' am, You should probably try live search or else Send the code to me. I will look into it."

"Ok".

I guess for the first time everyone, after attending a full day course, left the hall smiling.
