How not to advertise a new product

[styckx]

You need to install Silverlight for this (Just ms's version of flash)

Put all your thoughts away about don't copy that floppy, or Yo MS-DOS raps upgrade video.

THIS! This is the worst promotional gimmick MS has ever come up with.

I am puzzled and don't know where to begin...

And no undo?

Thank you Open Office for a good free product to counter act MS stupidity.

Open Office rules.


Seriously though, pink skips should be handed out for this promotional idea. I've watched it 5 times and I still have no idea what the hell is going on

I think that they were going for some sort of dumbass action movie tagline there, but, yeah, I can see how someone could watch that and say "What the fuck? They're getting rid of the Undo function?"

I actually do like Office (except Office for Mac is garbage; iWork all the way on that side), but, yeah, that's stupid.

Has Microsoft EVER made a good ad?

that actually looks fake.

they are saying its a major revamp.

every time Microsoft did a revamp they have changed their logo for it.

98 to 03 to 07. different every time.

and this one was such a huge undertaking i dont think they will be changing it this quick.
