- MBCook 12y agoI see that as a negative. They slapped one of their two popular characters on something as a desperate attempt to lure people in and be like Apple. Google didn't give their thing a personality. Having a personality may be better, but this just seemed kind of sad to me. It make me realize how little Microsoft has that people have positive associations with. "Come try our new plumbing business! You don't want to? What if we call it Mickey Mouse's Plumbing?" It's not a bad move. It may even turn out to be a smart one. But it just reminds me of their weak position. Why not just call it the Halo phone, or release the Master Chief edition.
