And if so, did the MS employees forced to watch it die a little inside? I think I did.

Further evidence that Vista is a flop?

Instead of making these meaningless videos, how about improving the quality of the drivers?

Entertainment of the "lets be cool/funny" kind (maybe besides this forum allowing some trolls go on and on, Raymonds blog and couple random exceptions) isn't really something MS excels at. All the stuff MS marketing has done around Halo and Xbox really proves this.

In other areas you get better with practise but MS really needs to hire someone to check whether the "fun stuff" is actually funny or merely lame because some of it is painfully embarrassing. Big Smile

Or maybe it was meant to be. Expressionless

Nice troll attempt. Unfortunately writing drivers isn't Microsoft's job. Blame the hardware vendors (Nvidia for example).

If Blackberrys are addictive cellphones, Channel9 is the ultimate addictive website.

Wow. I just died a little inside, as promised.

LOL. That was so bad it was actually quite funny.

I hope that wasn't the objective.

Can't they just copy the Mac adverts? We'd all be laughing lots more... maybe they could throw in a censor-beep every now and then Tongue Out

Well it's better than their public marketing.

Personaly I find them quite amusing (I've always assumed these videos ("No PC should be without it!") are delibrately cheesy). I certainly prefer them to that smug crap that a competitor puts out.

Oh, I have no doubt that it is to some extent. Maybe those band members are all from MS sales, and it all works on some level that we outside the organization can't appreciate. But I can't help but sense that this was also an earnest attempt to excite and rally the troops at some big MS sales meeting, only to be met with tepid applause and quiet sobbing from the back.

I saw a piece of it, with the sound off (I do not want the sound to be on). I wonder if Microsoft will provide free counselling to all of the people who had the misfortune of watching that.

Microsoft should just stick to coding and traditional boring marketing.

This is almost as ridiculous as the Windows 386 video.

Well, apparently it was intended as a spoof after all:

I'm glad they have such a twisted sense of humor in there. Big Smile

I don't see what the problem is, its a pretty catchy tune, a lot better than the crap kids listen to these days.

If you stumbled and fell down, it doesn't mean yet, that you're going in the wrong direction.
