I was just at Microsoft's site for the hotfix download to fix the 
Advanced Local Procedure Call problem in Server 2008R2 and you need to 
enter a captcha to get the link sent to your email address.

Just as I was about to enter it I thought I would listen to it just for 
the hell of it... I couldn't understand a thing, it sounded like two 
ferrets fighting infront of a de-tuned radio.

Whatever system the wiki and the forums have we better make it sure it 
is the right one because there would be nothing worse than going to a 
site and finding you can't use it because of a rubbish captcha system.
