- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+110WTF was up with her rapping???
This commercial singlehandeldly will make me give up games and switch to a mac. And If I ever see Bill Gates in person I will make him listen to a recording of that "rap" over and over until his ears bleed. - Aldrenean, on 10/12/2007, -0/+87"I'm using Windows, Windows, Windows 386
So all my applications are running at once!
My report right now is scattered all over my disk
W-W-W-Windows will pull these parts together real quick!"
... "that's where it gets floppy!"
Which is, of course, what she said. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+85Did anyone just watch this frozen with their mouth wide open like I did?
- distrbnce, on 10/12/2007, -1/+80This is historically accurate.
TGI Friday's business shot through the roof after they started putting clipart of the space shuttle on every page of their reports. - spencewah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+76It's na-na-not, 1-2-2-2-3 but don't worry, William, just hand the disc to me!
- Onikun, on 10/12/2007, -2/+77I want some of what they were smoking when they made this.
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+64I feel as if I've peered into the mind of a serial killer. That was truly disgusting. The whole video reeked of 1980s porn.
That song she was singing was the worst of it. Who wrote that? Was it someone at MS? Woo-woo-woo-Win-dows.
There is something worth noting here though, the use of virtual machines (apparently). Strange that MS didn't follow through on that idea and decided to make an insecure OS instead.

I hope they licensed it and didn't use it illegally! - JonProphet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+62I keep waiting for the porno part to start.. it's set up so perfectly, then she starts rapping...
- spencewah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+61Fun fact: the woman in the commercial (Victoria Carver) starred in this X-Rated film
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067145/ - tom391, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46That was pure marketing genius. Such a catchy tune and clever lyrics. Simply by watching that i can see exactly why windows is the dominant operating system today.
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+44It belongs in the Hell section.
- ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -3/+46Direct YouTube Link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGO2hVA3P58&eurl=
(also, listen to the music - wtf?) - TheBullMarket, on 10/12/2007, -0/+39Am I on shrooms?
- rakemyleaves, on 10/12/2007, -0/+37Another Fun Fact: She was also the woman who would "fluff" Steve Ballmer before meetings.
- sabbac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+37I disagree, 80's porn was way better, and made more sense.
- Mantice, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35I wish my vista was as fast as that.
- kingatrock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34theres...more?!
god why.. - zephc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+35no, he was holding a disk, not a disc. A big floppy one. A common mistake.
- nundeeram, on 10/12/2007, -0/+32It's almost unbelievable that they made this. Could you imagine being on the set when they were filming this? Or being the actress who sang that song? Remember, these are actual people who actually did this at some point in their lives.
- bigdt87, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31*waits for someone to make a w-w-w-windows techno remix*
- Majin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+30wow im switching to linux now OMFG i feel dirty and it wont come off.
- BrainInAJar, on 10/12/2007, -1/+26w-w-w-welcome to the w-w-w-wow
- Quix, on 10/12/2007, -1/+25"The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste, they have absolutely no taste, and what that means is — I don’t mean that in a small way I mean that in a big way." - Steve Jobs
Now I want to see someone redo the Dance Monkeyboy vid with that "sweet" little Windows rap ditty. Go Ballmer, go Ballmer, go, go, go Ballmer... - VivaNOLA, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Awesome. I just checked IMDB and, predictably, no one listed in the credits ever worked again.
- emmanuelsotelo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22Here is a link to the full video.

Find them and kill them. - burstaneurysm, on 10/12/2007, -6/+24That was easily the funniest thing I have ever seen.
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17Heh, I said it reeked of 80s porn.
- rbanffy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18This is most probably in the late 80's
Windows 3 was introduced in 1990, IIRC
Besides that, it's further proof Microsoft people have always been desperate to be cool and have always failed miserably.
To our amusement, I'd like to add.
And, of coure, all MS astroturfers will digg me down. - scottylist, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18She calls it "T-bone"!! ROFL!!
- lukehh, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17You think its done, then it jsut gets worse and worse. And worse.
Excel hasn't changed much. - Keropipi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17what the mother *****
- rnguyen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Are those actual people? That is just ***** awful
- DeflatorMouse, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17I think this may have been EDITED on Win/386.
- redxii, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16I agree. It clearly belongs in the "Microsoft" section.
- mccake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14This looks like a classic porn movie setting ... a blond and a man with a mustache in a dark office room ~~~
- jinglee, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18@thinkbox
You think it would have been made popular if it were a youtube link? Stuff like Gizmodo, Techcrunch, and of course Digg come with a lifetime warranty to get dugg... - ThinkBox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Nice glasses!
- buddhistMonkey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13At least no one will accuse Microsoft of stealing THAT from Apple.
- pcristiani, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12A 5 minute commercial ?? WTF??
- Karyyk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Sorry to burst your bubble broomett, but that AGELESS in its AWFULNESS. Trust me, no one thought this was funny or good in the 80's...
As for Apple, I'm willing to bet real money that nothing they came up with is this awful. In fact, I've never seen anything that comes close to this aside from some very local, very cheaply-made ads. I have to wonder how much M$ paid to have this made... - DeflatorMouse, on 10/12/2007, -7/+19Am I the only one that thinks she's kinda ... hot?
- cyberscape2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Yes.
- leethefilmer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Windows 386? I feel like a nerdy just saying the name.
- skater2968, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Dear god.... This is the cheesiest video i've ever seen!
- theokandroid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I bookmarked just in case I got bored.
- xipotec, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I think this was bad anytime.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Again...it was not 2007. Multi-tasking was a big deal then.
- mindsnare, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Now all that weird ass clip art that was on Windows 3.1 makes sense. Obviously the same department.
It was hard to watch - PKBabaSoGud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Man, my keyboard is a MESS. Thanks Microsoft!
