The point of this campaign is to start getting people talking, and then eventually listening to what they have to say. Judging from the fact that this ad has been listed on every single tech news site, I think it’s effective so far =)

Very true, and seeing the second ad now it’s becoming a little more obvious where they are going with the campaign.

Because everyone is giving it a bad rap without even trying it themselves. That makes the general consumer want to distance themselves from Vista because they’ve heard via word of mouth that it’s terrible. Microsoft is trying to reverse the damage that has already been done to the reputation of the operating system, but it may be too late at this point.

That was definitely pretty funny.

MS need to sort out their products. Right now they are unreliable and untruthful. Having an ad where they are ‘human’ is nonsense. It just makes me think same old MS.

As a longtime windows user and now a Vista 64 user its been a nightmare. Lack of support and reliability are huge issues.

Not to mention Vista accidently deactivated itself afew times which led to many phone calls. In one case the person just put the phone down on me. I am guessing he assumed i was a pirate. Felt like i should have been one.

Its really hard to be positive about Vista when its best features are old Mac features(but not integrated as well). There is hardly any incentive to recommend it. On first impressions its fine but on long term use its very grating.

Lets not get started on other products. Xbox is unreliable(and has tons of expensive add on costs). Office is their strong point but useability wise still needs more than just the ribbon. MSN/Live are a joke.

They should spend that money on sorting out their quality control. I am steering away from giving any money to MS again.

Next time i get a Mac.

Install Linux. Its free. Steve Jobs is the devil. Where do you think he got the idea’s for his operating system? Linux.
