Downtime like this allows this community to distill out the whiners, and the rest of us to blow the dust out of our power supplies. As said, we'll be here when you're ready.

Right, but it's not a play on the word "new" as in "newly produced" or "newly manufactured" but a play on the fact that NT stands for New Technology - just a literal play on words and an opportunity to rip on MS.
