Is this for real?
Well, boys and girls (or, rather, "girls and boys"), brace yourselves, 'cause here it comes! The all new, Debian-based, Barbie OS! Yaaay! [ Note to the male readers: the linked site does contain pink and purple. You have been warned. ]
Here's a gem:
The researchers also concluded that restrictive EULAs, proprietary file formats, and digital rights management technologies were not popular with pre-adolescent females, and almost none were satisfied with the results of Microsoft's Trustworthy Computing Initiative during the last year.
I'm rolling on the floor, laughing at the thought of hearing a girl (aged 4 to 11) saying the above things. :-))
And another one:
"Most girls up through adult women become frightened and confused, often hysterical when presented with a traditional command prompt," Cesterino explained, "therefore the console program available through the B-Menu in BarbieOS features pink text on a flowered background so as to not intimidate or threaten females, and all windows are circular instead of the usual square, since most females unconsciously associate a circular shape with inclusiveness and the womb."
Ohhh... the horrors... a pink terminal... ;-)
