I had to stop after a minute. Good grief, that was painful.

I think painful doesn't even describe it.

At least they are not giving any money to those greedy ad agencies...

Bring back Seinfield. At least it didnt insult our intelligence.

Well, I still think those two are better Microsoft Ads:

Windows 1.0
Windows XP

What is this eactly? A piss-take? That is not something official, is it? That gives me an ArgumentOutOfRangeException...

Is apple the only company that has a good marketing environment?

@Mathias - don't get it. The links point to the same you tube video.

It seems very likely that none of you watched till the end, judging by your comments...

@ Jan that’s true, hence my comment “I had to stop after a minute” ;o)

Ben Poole, 2008-10-09

@Jan - I watched it... got the joke, but still... its terrible

Paul Mooney, 2008-10-09

I'm sorry Gregory, this link is the right one:

Windows XP

;)

@vowe - Urban myths are so called because some people believe them.

No-one believes Microsoft is good at marketing.

And yes, I did watch it all.

I think it's intended to be ironic and thus also proves (yet again) that Americans don't do irony.

"Wrap your Windows around me"???
"Wrap"? "Windows"?
