XFree86 = PORN? Well Microsoft thinks so...

[Dippo]

Goto MSN.com and search for XFree86 and you be greated the warning
"You have entered a search term that is likely to return adult content."

MSN Search Blocking Results For XFree86 (http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/04/03/03/233224.shtml)

Now, I wouldn't find this as suspect except that terms like "XXX Free86", "XFree86 porn", or even "nude porn sex" doesn't return the warning.

I am baffled to why Microsoft has done this!

Well, what do you expect. I especially like it when MSNBC blocks any non-ie browser from viewing flash content even if they have the plug-in!! They give you some stupid message about non-compatibility. BS at its finest....

I read this on /. originally.

MSN is full of crapola.

Really, there is no reason to block it, done at all.

Makes Zero sense to me.. anybody who would search for the keyword "XFree86" probably already knows they want to use a *nix.. and is just doing research. They should start filtering out people who might search for "SCO+Microsoft+funding" ;)

If "adult" refers to one's maturity with respect to computing, then I think that Microsoft is right. XFree86 represents a more "adult" version to computing than Microsoft's offerings.
