Microsoft goes on the offensive -- very offensive
[Silicon.com]
Poor Microsoft. They may know PCs, but they're blowing it when it comes to being PC (politically correct). Like a software giant in a china shop of cultural sensitivity, Microsoft has managed to offend the Indian government for creating a map that didn't show Kashmir as part of India; the Saudi government for using Koran chants in a computer game; and pretty much every woman in Latin America for a Spanish version of Windows that
asked users to select their gender between "male" or "b****." The latter snafu came courtesy of a lousy translation. Can you say "understatement"? Microsoft, not wanting to be the Archie Bunker of IT -- and tiring of the cost of political corrections -- is making some employees take geography courses so that the view from Redmond isn't so obscured.
