Microsoft's "Source Fource" Action Figures

RCanine writes "Microsoft is attempting to curry mind share with the 3-12 age bracket with their new event, the Source Fource, a series of developer-based action figures. Windows Vista Sensei, SQL Server Gal and some lame gender stereotypes presumably seek to rid the world of bearded, katana-wielding evil-doers. From the article: 'Between March 15th and April 15th 2007, the new super dudette will be offered and will be sent to developers who get their act together and attend at least two live MSDN Webcasts or two MSDN Virtual Labs, or one of each.'" I just can't figure out what to make of this, except that I hope someone can tell me if it blends. Or melts. Or burns.

So you're saying that in this metaphor, Linux just makes excuses and passes the blame on to the user? I would think TuxMan would say something more along the lines of "Okay, because when I'm around BSOD simply ceases to exist" and the BSOD would have vanished in a puff of logic.
