I'm a PC and I'm 4-1/2
theodp writes "Microsoft's new Windows ad made its debut during the Grammy Awards on Sunday. It stars a 4-year-old cutie named Kylie (Silverlight required) showing how easy it is to use Windows Live Photo Gallery to edit and share photos. And while it's impressive that little Kylie is able to transfer a snapshot of her pet fish from her camera to a PC, color-correct it, and e-mail it to her family, what's truly amazing is that the toddler was also apparently able to read, understand, and accept Windows Live's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy. (But minors can't legally execute contracts, can they?)"
Wow, I went to that Youtube page, and cared to read the comments. It's "go windows", "I love windows", "Windows rocks" all the way for pages after pages!
Not one comment pointing out the disgusting exploitation of a child's image of innocent to further a corporation's agenda. Either that or it was the deleted comments that dot the discussion.
Does this scream "astroturfing" or what?
Actualy, I have found that an old laptop with OpenSUSE is the perfect computer for the youngest.... Many of the kid games are easier to get going in wine than on a windows computer where ther dont have admin access... Why on erth would a 7 year old need admin access on my computer? A Restricted user acount should do just fine, but alas.

Yeah, those Jews ought to stop remembering the holocaust because it only shows how bitter they are and hating Nazis won't do them any good.
I know it's not the best analogy, but some people take Microsoft pretty seriously. The people who don't take them seriously are the ones who use their products.
"Most people, I think, don't even know what a rootkit is, so why should they care about it?"
U're anal ? Well, it's OK for me, bro'. Personally, I first read : "I'm into CP and I'm 4-1/2 long". Wanna meet ?
