MS Opps…
Looks like our friends at MS PR wee bit culturally insensitive. They (actually probably some 3rd party ad company in reality) removed a black guy from Polish MS advert. I guess who ever did this thinks that Polish people are against black people – but they have nothing against chinese guys and hot-chicks in IT… I like the way she is able to delete files on her computer, whilst giving the presenter her full attention and wide smile…
Let on I began to think about IT adverts. The people are always SO happy in them. Clearly, no-one in the advertising business has spent much time IT office where work and happiness are sometime infrequent bedfellows…

Mike,
It’s not only a white guy instead of black guy…. It’s white guy with black hand!
This remainds me famous Polish joke about CIA. They sent a well trained spy to Moscow. He knew perfect Russian language and tried very hard to be like Russian people, but without success. When he asked them what’s wrong with him, they replied: \we have no black people\
BTW, we (Polish people) are against no one.
Best Regards
Andrzej
