So Whose Idea Was Windows Vista? Crickets . . . Crickets . . .

This is Kelly. Isn't she cute?

She starred in a few Microsoft commercials this summer. Like this one. Isn't it cute?

This is Foolery, rolling her eyes.  Isn't she cute? (Please don't judge; I still have sinus issues.)

 


I hate commercials with cute kids. Not because they're cute, but because though they may be precocious, they have NO IDEA what the words mean that have been stuffed into their mouths. GAG.

Now THIS is more like it. Microsoft came up with a new campaign to market the new Windows 7, and it's absolutely brilliant.

The theme, in case you couldn't  spot it, is "I'm A PC And Windows 7 Was My Idea." Why is this brilliant, you ask? (You know you were gonna.) I'll tell you why it's brilliant! (You know I'm gonna.)

Because shortly, when Windows 7 proves to be complicated, bloated, slow, and otherwise problematic in the way of past Windows versions (can you tell I'm not a Microsoft fan? That's okay because Mac isn't paying me and I can say whatever I want), Microsoft can blame everything on all of those PCs out there who "invented" Windows 7.

Genius.

I'm A Mac, And Windows 7 Was Not My Idea, So Don't Blame Me.

I'm still waiting for the love affair with my Mac to being. Right now we're still at second base.

I'm a Mac and have been for many years due to all of the frustrations of a PC while in the corporate world. Hubby fights a PC all day at work, then comes home to his Mac and his blood pressure drops to normal... *ahhh, sigh of relief, thanks Steve Jobs!

Oh, and children in commercials is quite annoying.

OH . . . GOOD . . . GRIEF.

And Chevy pickups are better than Fords. My pit bull won't ride in a Ford, and he won't even lift his leg on the tires of a Dodge.

Unless the Dodge happens to belong to Bill Gates or Steve Jobs.

Man, can'tcha just picture Steve Jobs in a pickup?

Me neither.

mmmm fungus, sauteed in butter and served on top of a rare steak! Making my mouth water just thinking about it!

I'm a PC (HP Pavilion) and have had no problems whatsoever with Vista. I still have my Dell (Windows XP) running for lots of stuff I don't want to put on my new HP, and I prefer the HP with Vista on it.

My son is a MCSE and he says The main benefit to Windows 7 is it's a lot faster to load.

But hey, what do I know? I like fungus, too.

Computers...really?

I thought that last commerical was a jab at government run health care.

...I never made the connection:)

yeah, pcs ocassionally have issues...but then I can buy a new, upgraded version every other month for the price of one old,tired Mac.

Now if I could only do that with women...oh wait, I can...I'm not married!

[Audubon Ron]

You're.a.Mac.

I had no idea. I wouldn't have guessed had you not told me.

[noe noe girl]

I think I am a PC with lime!

[Kyddryn]

Oh, Mizz Foolery - I'm a PC user, and sometimes Microsoft drives me batty. Sigh. Still...when it DOES work, it's brilliant. Sad...

You look maaahvelous. Simply maaahvelous.

p.s. Those crickets were chirping when I tried to click on the video with dial-up. Just reach through the screen and slap me across the face for not doing something about this. But in the mean time you really do look mahvelous.

Them thar are some fightin words missy.

I AM A PC.

But I agree this is kind of a brilliant concept. Of course if it is WONDERFUL will we all be getting checks every month too? You know...cuz it was my idea?

(hey did anyone cringe when the girl says 'abso-frick-lutely' in the commerical? Hello? INAPPROPRIATE.)
