A month or so ago, I wrote Robert Scoble of Microsoft to tell him about my daughter Jackie Kennedy who turned two the other day. She is a big-time computer user and I am building her a PC (you can read the first article in the series about this in the upcoming issue of Eastside Business Monthy.
I told him I am interested in getting her some additional training and she would make a great spokes-toddler for Microsoft. He seemed to think it was a "fun" idea and I believe he must have posted it somewhere in Microsoft-land, as a couple days later I heard from a Softie in the UK who wanted to get her daughter spending more time on a pc.
Unfortunately, that was the only reply that I got to my inquiry. I know that Microsoft has a lot bigger issues on their plate and that they generally move VERY slowly, but they are missing out on a great opportunity here. A two-year old who uses Windows XP, iTunes and Windows media player..... She'll be programming by the time she types with the proper training (only sort of joking).
Microsoft hasn't shown any interest in Jackie or this opportunity, so I guess we will have to make some offers out of state. Apple and Google are a couple of key prospects.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
