Around where? Seattle? Certainly not within a 200 mile radius of, well, just about anywhere else. When I see Microsoft's new ads, I still cringe. It's just a veiled "developers, developers, developers" thing. It still feels like the rich nerd trying to act like the cool kid. It just doesn't work, and Microsoft should realize that. Why are the marketing-heads so interested in "rebranding" anyway? I personally don't understand image campaigns. Actions, not words, Microsoft. Give us more things like Xbox 360 and Kinect (or half of the stuff Research comes up with), less lame attempts to make me "aware" of your cool work on Internet Explorer. If you want me to use your product, make it kick the ass of its competitors in my head. You won't convince me based upon your silly marketing anymore. I've been hurt by that a couple of times before. I am glad IE has finally started to come around to be a browser worth using, but the unfortunate fact of the matter is that I think these "hip" commercials are targeted toward people that are mostly off of the whole Windows game by now anyway. The problem here is that Microsoft is too late. The Lumia looks beautiful, IE doesn't look bad, but Apple already ate their mobile market and IE had its chance in 2005 when Microsoft didn't seem to take Mozilla seriously.
