I'm a long time Amiga/Unix/Mac/anything-but-Windows user, and while I'm not running out to buy a Vista-powered computer after seeing these ads, they do an excellent job of portraying Microsoft as not being evil.
I find that remarkable.
- BrandonM 18y agoThey are certainly more sensible than having Serena Williams or Lebron James tell us that they use Vista. Who cares? They also drive luxury vehicles that I will never afford. Just because some celebrity uses a product doesn't mean I should. I agree with you. At least these ads are entertaining and make Microsoft seem less evil. Suddenly ending them will look downright stupid.
- hugh 18y agoI dunno, they don't give me warm fuzzy feelings towards Microsoft. At the most, they give me warm fuzzy feeling towards Bill Gates, but simultaneously reminds me that Bill Gates is no longer in charge of Microsoft -- he's just a doddering old billionaire who in my imagination now spends his whole life wandering around shopping malls and chatting to other semi-retired figures who used to be important back in the 1990s.
