Summary[edit]

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	A screenshot showing the "family room" area of the Microsoft Bob software. The software uses the interior of a home, including multiple rooms, as its main metaphor. The items in the room, such as the checkbook and the wallet on the table, correspond to specific software applications. In the lower right, the Microsoft Bob software mascot, Rover, has a speech bubble with the message "Nathan, to start a program just click on it." (The Microsoft Bob software supports multiple user accounts[1] that include the names of specific users.)

Date of publication	2010-10-16
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Microsoft Bob
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	This screenshot provides users with illustrative and informative details regarding the typical interface of the Microsoft Bob software along with details regarding elements of the graphical portion of the software and assists in visual identification of the software and in interpreting critical commentary about the software. Among other things, the screenshot shows visual elements, overall style, the use of graphics that incorporate clear outlines and not a lot of colors, the "home interior" metaphor, and the use of "Assistant" characters such as the dog "Rover." The graphical interface is the main point of usage for the Microsoft Bob software and therefore it affects how the software is used and experienced by users. The article talks about how the Microsoft Bob software was a product failure and includes information about the critical reception of the software.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	No freely licensed versions of the Microsoft Bob software are known to exist, and an image that was not derived from the visual interface of the software would not be faithful and accurate for the purposes of facilitating visual identification and understanding commentary (including critical commentary) about the specific Microsoft Bob software title.
Not replaceable with textual coverage because (WP:NFCC#1)	The Microsoft Bob software is used primarily through a visual interface that puts an emphasis on visual elements, including the use of everyday objects and anthropomorphic "Assistant" characters, to a far greater extent than written words. As such, the visual elements and style of this interface affect how the software is used and experienced by users. The screenshot provides important assistance to readers in visual identification of the software, along with understanding the article's written information about the software, including critical commentary and information about the critical reception of the software.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This screenshot is of lower resolution than the original and is used only in this one article for which the Microsoft Bob software is the article's topic. The article contains only one non-free screenshot from the software.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The screenshot is used in this article for the purposes of illustration, facilitating visual identification of the specific software title, and understanding commentary (including critical commentary) in the context of an encyclopedic article. These uses are different from the original market purposes of decoration and marketing software. A single low resolution screenshot of the Microsoft Bob software should not replace the market for high resolution screenshots or for the software title itself. It should not be possible to generate illegitimate copies of the software from this screenshot.
