@bokscutter: My impression has been that any bit of protest to the ridiculous amounts of security will mean you are branded as "difficult" and probably guilty of something.

@warezIbanez: I don't think the people Microsoft hired count as "marketers." If the actual "marketers" are the first to go in your revolution, every company is going to be left with a brain-dead team like the one Microsoft picked for facing the public.

@minibeardeath: You've brought up more questions than you've answered.

Man, Microsoft PR sure does know how to get consumers excited.
