@sundarpichai Ours come back next update, and meanwhile all those crashes really improved our RAM usage.

@satyanadella Lovely, Satya; every crash sends millions googling how to fix Windows, and I sell ads on each search.

@satyanadella Half those crashed gamers think their graphics card died, so please, take your time with that fix.

Parody. The news is real; nobody here actually said any of this.
