Windoze ad - lame as Windoze itself

MacAndy · Jun 28th, 2005, 09:16 AM

Haven't seen a thread on here about this... the new Windoze ad with the lame chick bitching and complaining about her life and how Windoze products will help her get over her pathetic situation with relationships by making muzac on her PC box.

All the while some third-rate pre-animation college graduate level graphics are spewing forth like the propaganda this is Microsoft itself.

What an absolute lame piece of crap. I find myself watching it intensely each time just to satisfy my curiosity and firmly

I made a playable DVD last night of my daughter's kindergarten graduation. 18 minutes of digital video into a 12-chapter DVD with title screen, fades, controlled volume [you know what a class of 24 kindergarten kids can sound like played back at you at full volume!!] and burned it to a DVD while I slept, safe in the knowledge my house is not only a PC-free zone [my girls just got a used grape iMac and love it] but it is also a Microsoft-free zone and always will be.

Die Microsoft die.

Yeah, and it's only on when I'm watching tv, for the 2 hours a week that I actually watch tv. She must have that copy of Windows that works, which isn't the one that I have, which crashes all the time, and generally screws up whenever I try something. It's XP Home SP2, btw. But, anyways, I'm selling this machine, and getting a Mac, because I'm sick of it all. and, because I don't use any Windows-specific applications, switching over should be a breeze.

If there was ever an ad to promote Apple - this Microslouch ad is it!!

Good luck with your migration, I did it 18 years ago and shudder every time I have to touch a PC at work.

The "MicroSoft" mouse works so well that I know it's licensed, made by... oh, let's say Logitech, and then has the MicroSoft sticker placed on it. They probably do this so that the millions of MS users who are sick sick sick of conflicts and abusive software will think "Well, at least if it's a MicroSoft mouse, there might be fewer conflicts."

That's my anti-MicroSoft conspiracy theory of the moment.

I just hate Microsoft. Period.
I read Apple’s story a few months ago and...Microsoft again...

Always stealing other’s ideas.
We should start another forum here, the Anti-Microsoft Forum! Post your stories, your bitching and your jokes about Microsoft!!

Q: How many Microsoft testers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: We just noticed the room was dark; we don't actually fix the problems.

Reminds me of the Eliene Fiess Ads from Apple a few years ago.

I thought it was an ad for garage band at first when i saw the grafix and white background (sound was off).
