I wish I were kidding, but I am not. In a 6 minute display of utter disdain for people, the good folks in Redmond encourage you to pre-install Windows 7, invite the lamest people of all colors, ages and socioeconomic status, and then -whoo hoo- let the "good party" begin by being Windows Tech Support and/or a corporate shill
If someone invited me to this party, I would beat them to death with their computer. I hate all of these people, and death by fire is too kind...
This is the utter contempt with which Microsoft feels towards human beings...
...Behold, the putrescence...
Perhaps Gawker nailed this best when it said:
"Clearly meant to have a lively, "fun" feel, the painful video is so over-the-top bad we thought it first it must be a hoax....this marketing video somehow hits a new low. Maybe it's the way there's an undercurrent of tension and seething disdain even among the hired professional actors, as in this scene, about three minutes into the video"
And Gawker doesn't exaggerate...even a little. Or, as London's Telegraph states more succinctly "I’m beginning to think that no one involved with Microsoft’s advertising has ever left the house or spoken to a real person."
"‘You know what was great?’ asks Female Computer User One. Yes, we inwardly plead, tell us what was great. ‘It was so informal. Everyone just gathered around the computer in the kitchen.’ Laughs erupt from the user group in a celebration of the Windows® 7 informality. That sounds great, I wish I was at an informal Windows® 7 launch party."
This video is so painfully bad, so awkward, so try-too-hard-for-diversity it's nauseating, so mind-boggling terrible, that I can't even describe it. Like "Showgirls" or "Battleship: Earth" this crap is too painful to watch; in the end, you'll pray to unsee it, or retroactively spray bleach into your eyes, or wish for a good bout of amnesia.
Every time you use a Microsoft product, the Nazis win...
