Star Wars helps Microsoft Spain promote Internet Explorer 8. From WindowsTeamBlog.com:
"We know Internet Explorer 8 helps you stay safe while surfing the web with great features like the SmartScreen Filter which helps block malicious downloads and websites. My colleagues in Microsoft Spain have found a pretty creative way of talking about this with their new ?Yoda? campaign. Using the character from Star Wars, they have launched an online campaign designed to highlight staying safe online with Internet Explorer 8. Yoda represents the ?bright side? ? or the Force - of the Internet that embodies Internet Explorer 8. Yoda (IE8) helps users stay away from the ?Dark Side? of the Internet by keeping them protected against identity theft, cross-site scripting attacks, phishing attempts, and malware."
