"I'm a pc and windows 7 was my idea"

Is this not a really stupid catch phrase or am I missing the point? It's in all the TV W7 ads with people quoting that phrase.

I'm a PC and we're trying to make you forget about vista

I think the point is to show that it was designed with the average user's ideas for improvements.

Well their last one was 'Life without Walls' during the Vista era. I guess they are trying to get across that they have listened to what their customers want.

Yeah, but that's because it's so crap, not because it's clever.

Never said it was good.

Often the most annoying, confusing or zany adverts are the ones you remember.

I think they should have done something more entertaining, like this

Thanks for posting that, gave me a good laugh.

Quite right though. WTF have any of their ads got to do with chocolate?
I don't get ANY of them, but I know they're Dairy Milk.
They drive me mad because they are XXXX but I still know the brand name. That's all that matters.

Microsoft took on board a lot of user feedback during the BETA and RC stages. Almost every window in the BETA had a feedback button and I think it is quite refreshing that they did listen.

The adverts are a bit annoying since the people being portrayed all look like they wouldn't know what a Beta was if it ran past naked. A more accurate advert would be "I'm a PC nerd and I spammed Leave Feedback".
