‘Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?’

When it comes to advertising for its new Windows Home Server line of products, Microsoft has gotten very creative. The website for the not-so-serious promotion is http://stayathomeserver.com/. This website contains video clips (which the audio doesn’t seem to work in Firefox), links to their actual product line website, and by far the best part, a children’s book about the topic.

The children’s book, titled Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House? can be found at: http://stayathomeserver.com/book.aspx

Oops! Good thing my parents got me that Windows Home Server.

If you’d prefer to view the book as an overview of all pages at once, head on over to: http://gizmodo.com/342499/microsofts-brainwashing-childrens-book-mommy-where-do-servers-come-from

Internet Explorer 7 logo During my daily routine of scouring the ‘interwebs’ for news, I came upon quite possibly the most important story of 2008.

According to BBspot, Microsoft announced that it is packing up and closing shop for it’s popular Internet Explorer project. This report comes after word last week that AOL has discontinued its Netscape Navigator browser.

“We made Internet Explorer with the sole purpose of destroying Netscape. That job is done. It was a long and hard-fought battle, but the better browser won,” said Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. “What point is there now to having a browser product? We won WOOHOO”

Ballmer explained Microsoft’s strategy, “We’re not about dominating markets, we’re about eliminating markets for others,” he said.
