Microsoft has always had a history of pranks and well, sometimes you just need to play jokes on your colleagues. For this prank, Dan and I set up a fake photo shoot with the premise that they will be part of a new Microsoft campaign called The Faces of Microsoft. It's of course all made up, but watch and see just how far we can push the envelope.

Enjoy!

Tina and Dan

OMG, that was so funny I had to climb off my treadmill desk to keep from wiping out! Seriously! Great stuff!
I imagine Dan and Tina should remain cautious of anything that seems suspicious for the next couple of weeks though.

@Anonymous: While you are certainly entitled to your opinion, I can most definitely say that *NONE* of these were scripted
