I have to admit, when I first saw the Microsoft Windows 7 party video, I thought someone had slipped some acid into my mineral water. It blows me away that the corporate machine that is Microsoft could possibly think that the video was anything other than cringeworthy. Like, could you get any more un-cool? Weird…. just really, really weird.
If you haven’t seen it, here is is below.
But then I found this video, which sort of ‘restores balance to the force’ somewhat. A bit of fun, and much more human. I don’t encourage pirating Operating Systems at all – I actually think Windows is a great bit of software and I’m happy to pay for it, but Microsoft’s problem is with their marketing more than their product.
Anyway, enjoy the parody. It’s a good laugh.
Amazing isn’t it… Microsoft is clearly VERY out of touch with modern humour. Unless of course they are cleverer than we think and they have actually done with subversive humour. Is it possible? I think not. There’s no sign of it. But it’s very hard to take seriously nonetheless.
Just browsing tonight & finding all sorts of old and obscure things – is that Microsoft ad for real ? I kept waiting for the joke bit to kick in and it just didn’t happen. 2nd one was way more realistic
