Unfortunately for Microsoft, what it actually says is "although you would call the police if I went near your children, please listen to what I have to say about computer software".
Btw, what apprehension do people have about Windows? It's a product that almost everyone has used, so any apprehension is likely to be well founded. I suggested here a few months ago that WP would benefit from a name change, because people have negative associations with the Windows brand and the reaction was negative to a rather psychologically disturbed degree. Now I see others are also thinking the same thing. Good to see my ideas are not as unpopular as others claimed!
