The 'Host Your Windows 7 Party' video...

Not sure if this has already been posted, but this Microsoft video on tips to hosting your own Windows 7 Party is hilariously terrible:

"I led an overview of some of my favourite Windows 7 features - I showed my guests things from two of the Windows 7 orientation videos and it took, like, 10 minutes. You know what was great? It was totally informal, like, everyone just kind of crowded around the computer in the kitchen."

That is so bad it has to be a viral marketing attempt.

I mean, like, they can't be serious, right? :eek:

I hate that video.

MS must have one of the worst marketing departments in the world. For a company with so much money, so much experience and so much influence, why do they persist with completely crap marketing and advertising campaigns?

I hope that really is not a Microsoft video. I am totally shocked if it really is.

I was under the impression that video was a spoof.

Marky · 25 Sep 2009 at 21:16

Oh dear

That was terrible - As TheVoice said, I can't believe they can come out with such rubbish...

why do you hope that? Are you a Microsoft fanboy or something? Do they even exist? :confused:

A part of me just died. This cant be real? How out of touch are the people who made this with the real world?
