They target users that use MSN for the thing that they are supposedly good at: they make products in Fisherprice colours that will make you feel "happy". These people must be gay, MSN thought.

Well, with the possible exception of AOL, I can't think of a browser thats more for gay people than MSN.

congratulations.

i think they mean "gay" in the immature, haven't-really-thought-about-it, 15 year old way!   :D    :D    ;)    (http://tongue.gif)    :rolleyes:    (http://smile.gif)  

so don't sweat it.

i just think msn don't want to risk alienating anybody since their goal is world domination. (it is! i promise, it's part of the company goals!)

Big deal guys. Lets not go overboard with this. Gay people have a community as well and of course M$ wants to target them, why gay people should be offended by it? Its a free market.

 And the arguement about the nice colors and so on.  Who doesnt want an OS that looks good.  
 You should see how KDE is set up in my computer. I have so many colors that can make a blind man see.

Who cares? They're just targeting a demographic. One that has a lot of money.
Simple business. It's probably one of the least screwy things M$ has done recently.
