I thought the way it worked was

Armenianism: "you deserve it because you chose it" 

Calvinism:  "you chose it because you were predestined to deserve it"

Of the two Microsoft woes seem more Armenian than Calvinistic.

On a related noted I once saw a sign for an "Evangelical Presbyterian"
church -- evangelism and predestination were just too much of a
congnitive dissonance to forget.

the other Calvin..."
