I’m starting to think of Microsoft as the Sarah Palin of the tech world. Pretty to look at with quirky and catchy outbursts that get your attention, but when looked at closely turns out to be empty and simply divorced from reality.
Apparently this latest Bizarro World advertising is supposed to get programmers to come to the Microsoft Professional Developers Conference later this month. Why do I get the feeling they should name this product Windows Se7en instead?
The company’s advertising has certainly come a long way since this:
It’s nice to see Tina Wood can still get work! Loved her and Laura Foy for years.
We had better drugs and more fun at APplE!
once again I’ve been wasted.
In the very least they could have added some coffee (or water) to the actual cups. It’s annoying when TV shows do that – all you hear is that empty sound when they touch the paper cups or set the cups on the table.
Makes me want to switch to a Mac
Typically terrible advertising from Microsoft.
At least it wasn’t scary, like the ninja-kicking backflipping robot monster Windows 2008 thing.
The epitaph to Microsoft’s empire…
