Wow, it's just like a Tupperware party! How long do I need to put that laptop in the oven at 180° until it's soft and juicy?

Do you think if you looked at the control panels embedded in the backs of the people in that video they'd be running Windows 7?

That is so sickeningly wholesome.

The cameraman ought to be shot. There's some violent zooming going on in that vid.

Also, I think the geek guy is a closet racist. Watch from the 5:40 mark to see what I mean.

That's sadder than death in the family. I now officially feel embarrassed that I actually applied just to get a copy of windows.

I'll admit that I only linked to it above....only now watching it.

It's true - there are mindless drones everywhere....

America seems to do the scary sugar sweet super dooper pa thing better though. They will happily bomb the crap out of your country, but will be horrified at more than a "gosh darn it" muttered in public.

They also go way over the top in glossy advertising!

But alas, aussies have been drawn into the web as well....

How can a company with so much money and power be so bad at marketing?

Just did a bit of thread merging.

I love the video about CD burning. They're treating it like some kind of foreign concept.

That's because you don't have Windows 7....it's a new feature. Didn't you watch the video?
