Microsoft has lost their minds

[Shibathedog]

You all have seen this video right? Microsoft wants people to throw launch parties for Windows 7 so apparently they made this video to promote it, and it is HORRIBLE. There is no way it wasn't this bad on purpose. Crappy idea, acting, writing, editing, and more. They screwed up everything. There are so many bad mistakes (listen for CALL CUSTOMER SUPPORT! obviously edited in) anyway I won't ruin it all for you. Just watch.

I had to quit... Yea I heard that customer service edit portion... Lol I hate how they obsessively looked at the que card to our right. Yea that was fantastically lame, which is equivalent to the lameness of a microsoft 7 launch party... huh, imagine that. I hope someone ruins this "party"

 

And I thought I had no life playing 360 all the time... heh

No such launch parties are held in my country.

Terrible video showing off a terrible brand of laptop, it's a crappy Sony Vaio! Good luck running XP Mode on that damn thing!

I was thinking of it, as I was invited to host (among many), mine was just going to be me

You are meant to get a free copy of Win 7 but decided not to do it, since I have already have Win 7

You right - Microsoft has definitely lost their minds. The whole Windows 7 marketing campaign (like the others that came before it - anyone remember "the wow is now"?) is asinine. I've gotten at least 5 invites to these stupid parties. Their commercials for the actual OS are pretty awful too... they don't seem to have any idea what features to pitch since it's really just a Service Pack 3 for Vista, so instead their trying (and failing at) the cool/artistic approach.

hahaha holy shit that's so bad

[VT-Vincent]

Not to be politically incorrect, but I would be very curious to know how exactly all four of these people came to know each other.

[Gryph]

It's funnier when you think that someone wrote the script, did casting, and directed it. Probably had 20 people on set for various things, someone even had to pick out wardrobe. When you consider really how much work went into producing that, and that it is now part of some agencies portfolio that is lol.

[LoRd_SnOw]

It's funny how when each of them get a chance to talk, the rest of them eat or drink.

[Hera]

I can't even consider this as legit. This is seriously their marketing?

[Shibathedog]

HAHA you mean there are people actually throwing these parties? Me and my friend where debating just sitting around and doing what we always do and telling them "Yeah! Windows 7 party...errr...we did that! now give is our coupons or whatever!"

What? You're not going to play with the Windows 7 playing cards or play Windows 7 Twister? lol

[LoRd_SnOw]

If you're having trouble with Windows 7, you are playing Trouble.. it's one of microsofts trump card. It would appear this game was popular in vista, just wasn't fully utilized and known by MS until 2008.
