quandtumtheory.wordpress.com — As if creating a terrible product and a Miley Cyrus-esque promo vid wasn't enough, Microsoft actually used a Mac Book Pro in their promo for Songsmith. Were they simply admitting that Mac is superior or were they trying to tarnish Mac's brand by associating it with Songsmith?

My theory: Mac Book Pros look sleek and awesome, and their silver tops are an excellent canvas (minus the giant glowing apple logo) for flower stickers. They either used Boot Camp on a Mac Book, which says a LOT about their hardware preferences. Or, they used a MBP for the wide shots in the commercial, but then used a normal laptop for the close up's of the UI. The latter makes absolutely no sense.Also, seeing as how this links to my blog, I was pleasantly surprised to see this on digg. Thanks for the submission, oakraid706!

I really wish they would have used William Hung to promote this product.
