- d3dm, on 04/17/2008, -1/+23Good God, that's bad. Why didn't Vista's UAC dialog pop up and warn me about this before I watched it?
- Benji521, on 04/17/2008, -0/+13I had trouble believing this was real.
- doylnea, on 04/17/2008, -0/+12"our ecosystem rocks!" really?!?
- matthewdestroys, on 04/17/2008, -0/+8i bet ballmer had something to do with this...
- Quaboo, on 04/17/2008, -0/+8Epic fail.
- agalavis, on 04/17/2008, -0/+6The guy from the video response said it right: "Dude, am i being Microsoft-rolled?"
- speedbmp, on 04/17/2008, -2/+8"Vista, gotta to get me some" let me think about it ummm NO!
- WebCester, on 04/17/2008, -0/+5The whole thing is littered with sales jargon. I'd hate having to work in that division if this is what the boss thinks like.
- mgenovese, on 04/17/2008, -2/+6I'm more of an oldies fan. I'll stick with XP.
(and OS X) - slstsang, on 04/17/2008, -0/+4Self-congratulatory= LAME
- nooreazy, on 04/17/2008, -1/+4/sigh
- rokinroj, on 04/17/2008, -0/+3Good to see that they even included the Courteney Cox look alike ala the original Bruce Springsteen video.
- silicondon, on 04/17/2008, -0/+3Well, that did it, I'm finally convinced, and I'm gonna swtich from XP. Anybody know what distro has the best package manager?
- inactive, on 04/17/2008, -0/+3Oh come'on. Is something internal, kind of funny and likeable if you think that it was made FOR their employees, I know I would like my company to do something like that for me and my team.
- Tufriast, on 04/17/2008, -1/+4You know, this makes me sick.
- scyon, on 04/17/2008, -0/+2Ubuntu and Fedora would be my suggestions to look at first, although the latter is always a bit on the bleeding edge. Zenwalk is also pretty darn easy, and I've heard good things about PCLinuxOS.
- ParticleMan420, on 04/17/2008, -1/+3didnt I see this here yesterday? it could have been somewhere else tho....
- comradeTJH, on 04/17/2008, -1/+3Just had a deja vu - wasn't that video on the frontpage some hours ago?
- truthliesverbs, on 04/17/2008, -0/+2Check out the chick freaking out to the words "diagnostic and recovery tool set" at the 1:23 mark...that's some funny ***** right there.
- scy1192, on 04/17/2008, -0/+280's cheesiness
- smokeymcdank, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1How can Springsteen support Obama and MS? nm just watched it.
- jonjonaramacon, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Another nail in Vista's coffin...
- qazwix, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1WOW! This video is just as bad as VISTA!!!
- usedtobemac, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1At this point, I'd like to believe that videos such as this aren't created without full knowledge (or even intent) that they will be eventually leaked. Free advertising in the form of a "leak you weren't supposed to see!!"
It's just cheesey enough for Microsoft to give a wink and a nudge that they are "in on it" too and that they can make a parody with lines like "Vista, get me some" - Symblized, on 04/17/2008, -2/+3Buried as inaccurate: http://www.news.com/8301-10787_3-9920713-60.html
"This video was a spoof (believe it or not)," said a Microsoft representative. - Faasnat, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1Why? How many times was "developers" said during the song?
- ncc74656m, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1If you want to jump in a meatgrinder, just watch the video for "Feathers" by Coheed and Cambria.
- 22pages, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1I'm speechless. I don't know whether to boycott vista or just jump in a meat grinder to erase all memory of this. I won't be able to look at a MS sales guy without feeling a combination of pity and fear from now on.
- techSage, on 04/17/2008, -0/+1I second that.
- nibster, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1he probably thought he was singing for a Window Installation company. I mean honestly, does he even know how to use a computer?
- fragsta, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1This CANNOT be real.
- burkhartmj, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1A] at least according to MS it's a spoof comedy thing
B] buried for being a duplicate, the gizmodo art already got dugg like 2 days ago with the same ***** youtube vid embedded - scyon, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1I believe that this is considered a glitch in the matrix... ;)
- chanop, on 04/17/2008, -1/+1Yes, it was on the top diggs just this morning, blatant dupe
- chanop, on 04/17/2008, -2/+1Ok diggers, I can see a dup after a couple months getting by, but this was under the top diggs this morning. It's bad enough we have 2 duplicates of the hillary video in the top ten right now. Pretty soon the entire top 10 will be filled with duplicates of the same story
- muleking, on 04/17/2008, -2/+1at least no one is yelling hail xenu or saluting a picture of L Ron Hubbard
- WomensUnderwear, on 04/17/2008, -2/+0This is pretty darn cool. My pops knows someone who was Steve Ballmers college roommate and he says Stevie was just a crazy crazy guy, always down to rock out and just act wild! I think this clip is just great, it shows Microsoft have a real neat sense of humor as well as producing some great softs. I bet Stevie is chuckling at the impact this promo is having and gettin busy dreamin up a way rad new campaign that will rock our worlds! Cheers big guy, would be great to sink a few tall frosties with ya some day but for now keep rockin in the free world!
- inactive, on 04/17/2008, -3/+1It isn't.
- sethkinast, on 04/17/2008, -3/+1Is this truly real?
- shdogfox, on 04/17/2008, -3/+0It pretty stupid Ha Ha.
- coolrecep, on 04/17/2008, -7/+1^^Creative^^
- Osmondy, on 04/17/2008, -6/+0freaky...but very addictive
