what's worse is the "windows mojave" commercials where they run vista and call it windows mojave in front of "real people" on hidden camera - who of course ask no real questions and just respond with a lot of "wow!" and "that's vista?!?". of course they don't say how computer litterate any of these people are, or how beefy the machine is they're running it on.

i'd at least have liked to see a sort of "pepsi challenge" sort of commercial with the two OSs side by side.

I like it actually. I mean it doesn't sell their product but I am entertained by it.

Check out the one with the alternate ending... its kind of funny.

Unfortunately, I can't check out youtube here at work but if it's the commercial I'm thinking about with Seinfeld fitting Gates for shoes, it is the absolute dumbest commercial. And the ADs are like a minute long. Course Microsoft would do something like that. I actually thought I was watching a mini series that made no sense.

Money well spent I suppose....not

Was that the actual version shown on tv? That took waaaaay to long to get the point across. Some long comercials like that can at least leave you with a chuckle, but that left me with 'there's two minutes of my life I'll never get back'.
