They're all smiling 'cause their #!@%ing XP printer driver finally installed. (sorry, couldn't find this in the stock photo archive. I'm sure it's there though)

This girl is obviously smiling because her Windows PC didn't crash and lose her History paper last night: href=http://www.microsoft.com/insider/homeoffice/ Stock Photo

Now here's a good one: http://www.microsoft.com/insider/productivity/

Here dad is helping figure out what "fatal error in krnl32.dll means". Say, isn't that a mac they're using?

What the hell are these two looking at? http://www.microsoft.com/insider/finance/

Ah well, I think the whole site is just one big stock art catalog. Once again Microsoft doesn't create anything original...

"Royalty free" doesn't mean "free". You still have to purchase the image. The image shown in the link is a comping image for creating, well, comps to test whether a design idea works before actually purchasing the image.

"Royalty-free pricing is based solely on the size of the product you need, not the specific use. You don't have to pay any additional fees on a use-by-use. Once you purchase a royalty-free product, you may use it multiple times for multiple projects without paying additional fees." <-- from their faq

The actual purchased images come in larger sizes than the comping image, and without the watermark.

If the linked to site doesnt work for you (it doesnt for me under mozilla 1.0), get the image directly from here

Compare it to MS's image

She's cute but bland...I would have chosen one of these images instead:

option one ("you seem to be happy with xp now")
option two (nice pussy)
bachelorette three (chatting with me)
or four (post-assimilation)

And, in fact, the sensitive photo of the unnamed freelance writer is a stock photo. Specifically, it's photo number 120084 from the Getty Images collection.

Right on! In point of fact, there are TONS of things their computers don't do. Just the other day I opened up the case of a friend's Mac, put in a roll of undeveloped film, and waited ... but nothing happened. I mean, isn't it marketed like it's supposed to make digital photography easier?

I'm sure that if I had shelled out the bucks for Windows XP, I would have had 5x7 prints spitting out of that little slot thingy in the front in no time!

(Or better yet, as the unknown author suggests, Windows XP Pro... I really didn't need that extra $110 anyway. Knowing me, I'd only spend it on hookers and booze.)

Their clipart people you mean?

Whee

good job! you have a discerning eye i'm surpised they didn't use this woman, she shows up EVERYWHERE nowadays
i bet MS never guessed someone would find the stock image they used, hehe, very funny

Not only is she a freelance writer, but she also models for stock photography - check it out. Or maybe they just threw in a stock image of a person...
