I suppose this does exemplify the corporation mindset.

Lets break several hundreds of millions of PCs around the world bringing mass transit, hospitals and airlines to a halt. Causing billions in damages to our paying customers and their customers. If we offer $10 gift cards we are cool right?

From what I read they were cancelled because they gift card comp thought it was fraud with so many people accepting.

Still a terrible thing to do.

The vouchers were reusable. People started using them over and over.

$10 each? That's far too extravagant. Let's throw a pizza party.
