What is it about the girl in the taxi that makes me want to punch her in that smarmy little face??

And what is it about the dude in the gym that makes me think, "nice idea that snapping thingy - I might think about getting a copy sometime"??

How is it two adverts with the same tagline make me want to hug Microsoft while stabbing them in the chest?

Hugging them while stabbing them in the chest is still a massive leap forward for Microsoft ;)

She seems normal enough. But who on earth is the other girl there? The re-enactment part of the ad? :eek6:

I hate those adverts, every part of me wants to destroy there laptops and shout in their face, "that was my idea destroying your laptops no windows 7 for you"

I don't know why it fills me with rage.

What's up with the marketing department for Microsoft recently? First we have Windows 7 parties, now we have absolutely awful adverts where you want to just punch them in the face.

If Windows 7 is a success then it certainly isn't down to their marketing skills!

When I see one of these ads I like to yell back at the TV:

"If Windows 7 was your idea how come you're an out of work actor then?!"

I'm a PC, Ubuntu wasn't my idea, but then again it costs fuck all and does more or less everything that Windows does, except about 10 times faster.

Technically they arent out of work seeing as they are paid to star in the adverts

If you were an out of work actor actor and I had paid you to stand outside for your house for one day three months ago could you say to me that you are currently in employment?

Simple yes or no answer please :m00:

I'm self employed, and not working today.

So am I unemployed then?

Well they have to be doing something right! as they've managed to get people posting the adverts on forums where there can be mass agrro at them.
