UPDATE: Speaking of the WeHaveTheWayOut.com site... notice that cute little animation on the left, of the bedsheet rope being lowered out the window? Kris points out that it wriggles the wrong way-- the end of it jiggles before the rest of it moves, like a snake.

Know what I think happened? I'll bet some Flash guys originally animated the rope being pulled up into the window; and then Microsoft said, "Hey, no, we wanted it going the other way"; and the contractor said, "Yeah, but like, it's already done and paid for, and the animators already went to Vegas"; and Microsoft said, "Okay, well, just run it backwards, then. That's good enough."

Oh, and Chris noticed that the rope doesn't descend all the way to the ground, which is out of sight below. So Microsoft and Unisys will help you start to escape, but they won't provide more than ten feet of bedsheet-- and then you've got that inconvenient plunge to your death to contend with.
