Oxymorons

This thread is about your experiences that you faced in real life that relates to the word oxymoron.
I will start with my most recent experience with a bug I was facing for last few months.
An oxymoron of new age cyber world... "Microsoft works"
I was having repeated blue screens on my laptop every time I started a specific application. I have been trying to find the solution for this weird problem, the application owners blamed it on the anti-virus and the anti-virus people blamed it on the application software. There has been numerous back and forth articles all over net about blaming on each other but no solution.
Then just today I found a site, not so reputed, where a guy suggested something really weird. He said that this problem can be solved easily by stopping windows 7 from downloading drivers from microsoft driver providers, and instead download it from specific manufacturers only. So I tried that and "voila". The problem got fixed.
The microsoft provided driver software for my wifi adapter was being the culprit all along and to fix this issue, I have re-installed Windows 7 (sacrificed a ton of data in doing so), re-installed antivirus, applications, 3 times now. And finally a month long painful try and fails have come to a bliss full continuous service.
"Microsoft Works" my @ss!!! :@
