Create artistic programs with a "pet" in order to educate and amuse. A friend of mine once jokingly mentioned that the Microsoft Paperclip was his childhood friend. I wonder if a far more interesting character would become popular, and provide greater incentive to buy the art program and then to learn it...
The Vocaloid phenomenon sounds like an instance of this.
One of the alternatives to the paperclip was a cat. If the cat was the default, rather than that annoying paperclip, I think the Office Assistant wouldn't have been so reviled. ;)
