Windows brings out the Rorschach test in everyone (2003)

Windows 激发了每个人的罗夏墨迹测试（2003）

It seems that no matter what you do, somebody will get offended. Every Windows 95 box has an anti-piracy hologram on the side. The photographer chose his infant son as his model, since the human face is very hard to copy accurately. The baby sits next to a computer, and as you turn the hologram, his arm rises and points at the computer monitor, which bursts into a Windows 95 logo. How cute. And everybody loves babies. 似乎无论你做什么，总会有人感到被冒犯。每个 Windows 95 的包装盒侧面都有一个防伪全息图。摄影师选择了他的幼子作为模特，因为人脸很难被精确复制。婴儿坐在电脑旁，当你转动全息图时，他的手臂会抬起并指向电脑显示器，显示器随即迸发出 Windows 95 的标志。多可爱啊，而且每个人都喜欢婴儿。

Until we got a complaint from a government (who shall remain nameless for obvious reasons) that was upset with Windows 95 because it depicted naked children. “Naked children!?” we all thought to ourselves. They were complaining about the hologram on the box. The baby wasn’t wearing a shirt. Even though the baby was visible only from the waist up, the offended government assumed that he wasn’t wearing pants either. 直到我们收到一个政府（出于显而易见的原因，这里不便透露其名称）的投诉，他们对 Windows 95 感到不满，因为上面描绘了“裸体儿童”。“裸体儿童！？”我们都心想。他们抱怨的是包装盒上的全息图。那个婴儿没穿衬衫。尽管婴儿只露出了腰部以上的部分，但那个感到被冒犯的政府却认定他也没穿裤子。

We had to produce a new hologram. In the new hologram, the baby is wearing a shirt and overalls. But since this was a rush job, we didn’t have time to do the arm animation. So if you still have your copy of Windows 95, go look at the hologram. If the baby in your hologram isn’t wearing a shirt, you have a genuine collector’s item. I have seen the “naked baby” hologram but unfortunately my copy of Windows 95 has a clothed baby. 我们不得不制作了一张新的全息图。在新的全息图中，婴儿穿着衬衫和背带裤。但由于这是一项紧急任务，我们没有时间制作手臂动画。所以，如果你手里还有 Windows 95 的拷贝，去看看那个全息图吧。如果全息图里的婴儿没穿衬衫，那你拥有的是一件真正的收藏品。我见过那个“裸体婴儿”全息图，但不幸的是，我手里的 Windows 95 拷贝是穿着衣服的婴儿。

If you hunt around the web, you can find lots of other people who claim to have found subliminal messages in Windows 95. My favorite is the one who claims to have found images in the clouds bitmap. Hey, they’re clouds. They’re Nature’s Rorschach Test. 如果你在网上搜寻，会发现许多其他人声称在 Windows 95 中发现了潜意识信息。我最喜欢的一个说法是，有人声称在云朵位图里发现了图像。嘿，那可是云啊。它们是大自然的罗夏墨迹测试。

Windows XP had its own share of complaints. The original wallpaper for Windows XP was Red Moon Desert, until people claimed that Red Moon Desert looked like a pair of buttocks. People also thought that one of the generic people used in the User Accounts control panel people looked like Hitler. And one government claimed the cartoon character in the original Switch Users dialog looked like an obscene body part. We had to change them all. But it makes me wonder about the mental state of our beta testers… Windows XP 也遭遇了不少投诉。Windows XP 最初的壁纸是“红月沙漠”（Red Moon Desert），直到有人声称“红月沙漠”看起来像一对臀部。人们还认为“用户账户”控制面板中使用的通用人物头像之一看起来像希特勒。还有一个政府声称，最初“切换用户”对话框中的卡通人物看起来像是一个淫秽的身体部位。我们不得不把它们全部更换掉。但这让我不禁怀疑我们测试人员的精神状态……
