          I noticed you linked to the UK version... The US version is worse. http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/default.mspx[^] We get a 5yr old drawing how cool it is on top of that slogan. Cause planets and space has everything to do with a stable/bug free developing platform.

              It looks like we've got more to be worried about as there seems to be a new smiling-face-planet in the solar system, plus what appears to be a few cross sections of a tree. What do they teach kids these days... :-D

                  Obviously, it's a dual-purpose commercial... They're also trying to convince kids that Astronomy will take them to their own little "happy place"... There are just too many jokes there, and so few are KSS...

                                I was actually thinking about that. "Hey look, Jupiter is hanging out next to that SMILEY FACE PLANET THE SIZE OF EARTH!!!" Seriously, looking at it, we are the only option there that has that crap thrown in.

                                  Why am I getting lyrics in my head now? "I'm hung like planet Pluto, hard to see with the naked eye, but if I crashed into Uranus I would stick it where the sun don't shine."
