"However, unlike a normal Microsoft software release, the spawn of Wolfetone arrived ahead of schedule and, despite our reader professing delight at wearing "the second worst thing" in their wardrobe, the new arrival appears less than amused. "He seems to start crying when I attempt to hold him while wearing the jumper," Wolfetone told us. "Make of that what you will.""
"We're not sure what is alarming the little tike most. The MS-DOS logo evokes a simpler, more soothing time (today's registry hacks make the battles involving autoexec.bat and config.sys seem a walk in the park by comparison). The MSN butterfly logo is charming, although the sight of Internet Explorer is enough to make any grown woman or man cry, let alone an innocent child."
A person named Wolfetone won a Microsoft-themed festive sweater and wore it for the arrival of his second child. The newborn began crying when held while the jumper was worn. The sweater features vintage Microsoft imagery including the MS-DOS logo, the MSN butterfly, Internet Explorer and an unblinking Clippy. The Internet Explorer logo and Clippy's stare are suggested as likely causes of the baby's distress. The MS-DOS logo and MSN butterfly are noted as more soothing or charming in contrast. There is speculation the baby may damage the garment, and a joke notes that a PC cannot be washed to undo Redmond emissions.
