What were they thinking!

erm for the record.

I liked: I'm a PC ads(apart from the famous people they come over as schills), the Laptop hunter ads

I hated: any other MS advert I can think of. BillG & Seinfeld being particularly weird.

That was pretty bad. I thought the F.O.M.S. one was funny.

It made me laugh. Smiley

Anybody know where there's a copy of the "Upload your Windows Mobile apps" video referenced by Paul Thurrott here? The facebook link stopped working soon after Paul posted about it, before I got to see it, and I couldn't find another copy.

I liked it. It stands out from all the bland ads. Though, I wont watch it again. Smiley

That's exactly the point of advertising. You have to make an impact and stand out from the rest. This way people will remeber it.

Actually pretty funny. It could have been fixed by having her barf in the sink instead of in the camera.

Hang on! That's Superman! Well, if Superman think I should be using IE8, I'd better use it!

Always a step ahead in stupidity.

I think it's funny... Not "top of the line" funny, but still it's a good ad.

After all those fart/burp/puke ads online and on YouTube, why do people still feel the need to put their sensitivity hats on all of a sudden and comment "only Microsoft can think of something so gross and vulgar" because it's always cool to hate on Microsoft? "Oooh, I'm deeply offended by M$'s awful awful ways of advertising their pathetic little browser, Firefox FTW!!!" - that's a bigger pukestarter right there... it's a browser, not a social movement.
