What In Dear God Is Microsoft Thinking!

Microsoft have surpassed themselves, as only Microsoft can. I never thought my nomination of their Songsmith advert for worst video of 2009 could be beaten… unbelievably, they’ve proven me wrong!

The Windows 7 Launch House Party? At first I thought this was a parody, but no, it’s actually real! Just make sure your diary is full between 22-27 October, otherwise you could end up at a house party, with your IT department!?!?

    Somebody, somewhere at Microsoft has drunk an entire year’s supply of Kool-Aid (all at once)!

    Hey, lets have a party, a Linux/apple party, lets invite some open source and add some compatibility. Now that would be a real party!

    Hey, been there, done that in the 1980s when Windows 3.0 was new and almost no one had a home computer (ha!) that could run it. Initially it was eggciting, but soon they called it Windoze for a reason. Now at version 7 it looks lame, like the Avon Tupperware pearl necklace parties.

    OTOH good reason to network and socialize…
