Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?

“Mommy, Why is There a Server in the House?” is a touching children’s book by Dr. Tom O’Conner that helps parents explain Stay-At-Home Servers to their child.

It’s also a very clever viral ad campaign for Microsoft Windows Home Server.

Clever? I think it’s propaganda.
Ugly one.
May i can’t understand it, may it’s humor… but the kids are… naive. They will buy all the talk and they will belive in it.
I think commercial through kids is wrong.
And i don’t like MC ;)
