He is?
That's a relief.
I thought he'd finally managed to break into my orgy chamber.

Ultimately, nothing matters. You will die, we will all die. The Earth will die. Eventuallly the universe will probably die a cold, cold lonely death. Possibly even time itself will die. The universe doesn't care a rat's ass about it al either.

I understand how the latter can lead to the the former. I was almost ready to go out and do my part to make the first come true after only two days of UI testing.

on head - ness

 I get the balance and takeway part. but how do you get to "NESS" from head? 
|
|
|
|

A high ridge of land or rock jutting out into a body of water; a headland. = ness

Microsoft have finally gone completely bananas.
Using Hentai Anime to flog their wares!
Rather creepy to use a 13 year old sexually provocative character with her short skirt and, oddly for the Asian market, large blue eyes.
It is bordering on hebephilia.
What next? Will she do a Money Shot every time someone buys VS13?
Seriously, the hive mind at Redmond must have authorised this, although how and why it got through as a 'Good Idea' is beyond me.

Yeah was on the CP New articles yesterday. I'm a big fan of anime, unfortunately IE would like to ruin that for me. TIt's hard to describe just how shocking it is or even describe how on earth microsoft, an american company, came to the conclusion to use a japanese advertisement.
If they wanted a mascot, stick to Cortana, (female version of the paper clip).

Very bad choice. Cortana doesn't deserve this fate. Please spare her.

Good Ideas work. Maybe this will work.
Inori Aizawa probably isn't going to make me use IE, but I was interested enough that I looked up some more drawings.

I'm afraid that that's how you advertise in Japan. It might not be of much use with Jethro and Bobby-Sue, but it's pretty much ideal for the Japanese market.
The metaphors are clear (I particularly like the huge, evil -- is it burning? -- clanky monster with fox-like ears, at the end), so it makes the points it wants to make to the people it wants to make the points to.
It's a well scripted and implemented ad.
