I think this is great. Completely irreverent and bizarrely hilarious. Microsoft needs to change their perception from monolithic business-demons if they're going to remain competitive in a market that is, in many case, fast leaving them behind. This sort of self-deprecating approach is a great first step. I love the semi-slogan, "Future. Delicious." It makes almost no sense at all yet is very captivating.
CP+B turned Burger King into a newborn giant, so I'm really interested to see what they do with this account.

- If they want to be competitive, why not make a better product?SigDesign
- you thought that was irreverent and bizarrely hilarious? You need to get out more.morilla
- Because marketing isn't always about a better products, it's about a better sell. I don't agree with this approach, but it happens. This isn't a product ad, per se. It's a company ad, a personality ad. The Vista-specific stuff will come later. I imagine this will be a long-running campaign.Lestrade
- "Completely irreverent and bizarrely hilarious" thats what it tried to do... it failedmodern
- Its funny how most Vista bashers have never even used it.ETM
- For the record, I'm a Mac user but have Vista installed on one machine. I think it's quite a leap from the bad old days of a few years ago. Keep in mind that this is the first ad in a long campaign (as I said before). And hey, we're talking about it, aren't we?
