What's interesting about these two cases is they don't change the  
underlying functionality. It's just a change to the skin.

Earlier this year, HP launched a Shrek PC (at the same time as the  
movie's release) that actually changed the standard operating system  
skins to be green-shrek-like and added some custom software. This  
goes a little further.

If NEC was changing software/functionality to be more "pink", then  
I'd think you'd have something to get all perturbed about. But, just  
skinning the machine to match a niche desire seems harmless to me.
