Sorry Microsoft. <a href="http://news.com.com/2100-1024_3-6151732.html">People don't want to pay for a operating system that sucks</a>.

Dubbed "Genuine Fact Files," the campaign is now launching in the U.S. It went online last month in Italy, France, the U.K., Indonesia, Brazil, Australia and the United Arab Emirates. Microsoft plans to draw attention to it through banner ads on its Web sites and promotional material that it will hand out through partners. By using comics, the company aims to make the message more accessible to a broader audience. They are black and white, in a style similar to newspaper comics.

I hope they add memorable characters. I for one would like to see some kind of seductive woman talking her prey into accepting DRM and signing EULAs. You wouldnt have to dress Steve Ballmer up much, just give him some kind of ailment, like a drinking problem or affinity for puppy blood to humanize him a bit.

The Blue Screen of Death would be a very good anti-hero. Constantly bringing pain and destruction, but mostly to Microsoft.
