In the inspired silliness category, Microsoft is attempting a little humor to market its otherwise serious server and developer tools, Sequel Server and Visual Studio 2005.
At Escapeyesterworld.com, a seemingly unpromoted Web site hosted by Microsoft, video episodes like "Evil Wears a Cape" and "Repetitive Tasks of Doom" feature clips and characters from old Flash Gorden shows. Voiceovers tell of the benefits of the technology, such as "freedom for developers who toil in DLL hell."
Maybe this is why a search for "evil" at Google now renders results other than Microsoft.
