Interesting... are we going to have to step on a scale to turn on TV's in the future? Fat people will just keep a skinny friend around to fake it for them.
This isn't how you deal with overweight issues, it won't change a freakin thing.

My gf is a size 00, 5'1", and weighs about 90lbs. soaking wet. She's not even heavy enough to activate the airbag sensor in my car when she sits on the passenger side. She is very fit, eats like a horse, and has a wicked sweet tooth, yet doesn't gain any weight. I wonder if M$ would penalize her for being underweight?

Prior Art - Wii Fit already customizes your Wii Fit Mii (based on you created Mii) with your weight after it weighs you.

Making fun of FAT PEOPLE is not cool... it's discriminating!!!!!!!! There are many reasons why people are fat or gain weight. It's not for M$ to decide who is fat, who isn't and what not....
They need to concentrate on games which they currently lacking and not our weight.
Why? What are they gonna do, run after you?
"There are many reasons why people are fat or gain weight",
well thats true
Two mayor ones are , playing computer/video games alal day instead of moving thweir fat ass .... and cheetos + soda.
doubt having a fat avatar will help though.
Better Microsoft do some sports games with their new "Project Natal".
Will actually work, instead of wii that is alla talk and no action.
...example, you dont have to stand up or move your arm to play tennis on the wii, flick your wrist a bit...job done.... no fun and masturbation gives more exercise then that.

Great breakdown on WordPress 2.9. I agree, back up your stuff and get 2.9.1 when it becomes available. WP 2.9 is a solid update, but am still looking for more in WordPress 3.0. Here's my thoughts on the newest version of WordPress.
