No, Microsoft, You Didn’t Do This

I’ve said it before and I will say it again. When I worked at Microsoft, I found the technical team to be very solid and the marketing team to be pretty awful.

Here’s yet another piece of evidence of what I mean by awful. In the US site of some business productivity software it sells, Microsoft chose to use stock photography. Not a problem.

However, in the Polish version of the same site, Microsoft replaced the head of the black guy with the head of a white guy.

I found this on TechCrunch and had to post about it. It’s simply unreal. If you are in charge of a web site like this, how can you possibly think this is a good idea?
