Swiss Microsoft site pulls racy ad

2001-07-26 18:22:33+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

A Swiss Microsoft site has pulled a racy ad, as a man fumbles to undo the bra of a scantily clad woman a Microsoft prompt appears, asking for a password. Apparently they're trying to say that Windows[Wiki] only cares about security when you want to do something. Or, given how easy it seems to be to bypass Windows[Wiki] passwords, maybe the message was "Use Windows[Wiki], get screwed."
