This Microsoft Windows 7 launch video is, if possible, worse than that musical one
Sort by CrunchGear (Free subscription) - 24/09/2009
Either Microsoft’s sense of humor has gotten almost British in its sophistication and dryness, or this is the worst promotional video I’ve ever seen in my life. Yes, worse than their Songsmith video.

Sort by Epicenter (Free subscription) - 30/09/2009
Microsoft, no stranger to mockery, has been taken off guard by unintended attention paid to a bizarre promotional video designed to help people throw Windows 7 launch parties to introduce the slimmed-down operating system to all of their friends.

Windows 7 Video Recorded In Irony-Free Zone
Sort by Wired (Free subscription) - 24/09/2009
I really want this to be sincere, I really do. But the fact is, I don’t think this could possibly be for real. This video is most likely a social experiment conducted by the Carnegie Mellon psychology department with a partnership through Microsoft. It’s like the folks at Redmond took a page from Arthur Kade’s [...]
