    Not racist. Targeted marketing. What do you think they do for the Chinese market?

    If you can afford a Mac (and MS can) then it is a great choice to run Windows7 on!

    Granted, it sends the wrong message, but MS is not primarily a hardware company.

    Because of the headline, I read the first ad as "Empower, you people".

    Kurt Lazarus: "What do you mean 'you people'?"

    Hey, maybe the person working on this ad for the Polish market decided to have some fun with it, insert a picture of himself and see if it would slip by unnoticed...

    Maybe they should have went "The Thing with Two Heads" route. That would have made me more interested in Microsoft.

    How do we know the Polish version is not the original and they had to accomodate the ACLU here in the good'ol USA ?

    @aec007: The old white guys neck and his brown hand should throw up some red flags.

    Also; how do you use a shit photoshop job, replacing a black man's head with a white mans, as a means/reason/excuse to run down the ACLU?

    What do you have against our civil liberties?

    @Voyou_Charmant: Reality check: The ACLU has precious little to do with civil liberties, but rather very much to do with demanding additional rights to some groups of people while reducing the rights of others.

    Calm down, slugger.

    Provide one instance where the ACLU took someones rights away in exchange for giving them to another.

    @The_Gas_Man:

    Except...no. Tinker v. Des Moines is my favorite case, it set precedent that students do indeed have a freedom of speech. They are a huge proponent in defending the first amendment and have been throughout the years.

    Who has had their rights reduced?
