A Linux Distro for Barbie?
Mattel are planning on launching Barbie OS 1.0 this year for the christmas rush.
Based on Debian Linux its mainly aimed at toddler through preteen girls who are currently Windows users but may be seeking alternatives, possibly due to increasing licensing fees or out of a desire to break free of vendor lock-in.
quoted from the press release "Barbie Wizards guide girls through the process of partitioning their disks, formatting volumes, mounting Samba shares, and installing packages."
Best of all BarbieOS is licensed under the GPL :-P
