This whole thing is so blown out of proportion. Still, always nice of Microsoft to provide our laughs through their incompetence.

I really want to comment on this, but I just don't understand it yet.

I mean, why would you ever photoshop the picture in the first place, I don't see a position in a company called ''Racist-photoshopper''. I mean.... someone had to photo shop and upload the thing.... possibly someone IN POLAND that has access to the server (and will lose his job, if not already the case)

Microsoft owns that picture and can do anything they want to it.

I see no problem with this "localization", that's what people do with other software too.

Yes, because Microsoft doesn't hire an outside ad agency to take care of their ads.

Microsoft didn't goof anything. Sure it makes them look bad, but that's about it.
