This isn't MS thing its "advert" by U.S. Techs which is hosting the pdc stuff. The whole firm seems to be a joke / pretending to MS company. I guessing MS lawyers will be ripping U.S. Techs to shreds.
Can Microsoft do ANYTHING in a timely fashion? Sheesh, if you're reaching that far back why not spoof Titanic with "Vistanic"? Seems much more fitting.
This is so-o-o-o-o-o sad! As much as Bill was geek, at least he had vision and got results. The current leader has neither vision or the ability to execute. Sad!
That said, they are missing the theme for Windows 7! Be anti Apple without acknowledging Apple. "Window 7 - Your PC, Your Way!" That goes at the Apple hardware issue, makes it personal and is a nice follow along to the current ads they are running - "I'm a PC". The sub-tag line for "Your Way" is "At work, at home, at play - your way!"
Come on ... $10 large for JS? Can't they buy a firm that is more creative and that uses PC's. There in lies the problem ... most, if not all agencies, use Mac's and thus don't use the product!

PS-After 24 years on a PC I went Mac three years ago ... and will never go back!
Who in the world is paying the kind of money it takes to produce this crap? Even if it is a parody, this would take a lot of studio time and expense...for no result other than to make fun of Microsoft? This does not compute...
Wait, lemme get this straight......is this one of those internal ads made by microsoft themselves? What the hell is the point of these spoofs.....I mean really!
Doesn't Ballmer realize his company is in trouble? Yes that got that large...bloated monopoly of theirs. But I like to compare that to a dying star turning into a giant bloated red giant right up the point where it implodes into a black hole!
Hey Microsoft, why don't you concentrate on making Vista actually work before going off on another project? Oh, and while you're at it stop making "edgy" and "thinking outside the box" promos too. It's just not working. In fact, the end of the video is actually the most natural part of the whole thing where everyone is just silent. It's simply not funny at all. See, you have to actually be cool to be able to pull off a parady of something lame and that's what makes it humorous. Just a little tip there.
... that's the point, they did it with the Sen..something ads, they are doing now again.
This ad reflect the Ballmer soul! That's it.
(I'm expecting the day when El Jobso will "appear" on a VideoWall at some Microsoft Word Conference saying that Apple will "support" Microsoft on its re-launch.)
Oh man! Bad acid flashbacks of the Intel Bunny (and we ain't talking the ugh Hefner variety). Butt overall at least it mad more sense than the Seinfeld / Gates ads, it at least talks about Windows.
Now, more then ever, I'm saving my pennies for a new MacBook Pro; come on Apple we know you have them in a warehouse somewhere, they want to be set free.

Is this a parody?
It's rather devastating that Microsoft is bashing its own product... Vista takes a huge hit, with "you can't win with our system made for losers".
It's on YouTube, a Google site, so this HAS to be parody, right?
OMG
...and here I was gonna write a comment saying "careful with the satire, win-users are gonna take it at face value..."
Oh my. If that's real, it's

Holy crap, I thought it was a spoof! Hahaha!
...oh, I get it!
No freaking way would microsoft make a video where one of the guys waves their butt in the camera! Spoof-dar activate!
Hi, I'm a Mac
This is why I'm NOT a PC...
If Bill could do it..
Bill did shake his booty and did a robot dance with Seinfeldt, so it must be PC to wave ones butt to the camera
Could they make it any easier
Could they make it any easier for apple?
Yes.
They could delay it again.

So, does this mean that Microsoft is going to release an operating system for gay men?
