The Bluescreen of Bliss

I'm reading CamWorld [1] and I come across a link (Introducing Teletubby XP) [2] about Microsoft's new default background screen. The author of the piece claims it looks like the set from the Teletubbies [3], but I think it looks more like the set for the movie Toys [4].

But in any case, what exactly is Microsoft trying to say here? Their customers should be treated as children? That their operating system is nothing more than a toy? Come on, what could they be thinking?
