Omg, there is someone out there, a certain Colin Steele, who actually liked that Vista video!
Well there's no accounting for good taste.
Yes, it was an internal video sure, a "parody"..but it is still one of the worse corporate video every made.
Our defender disagrees:
Microsoft pulled one over on the Windows Vista haters yesterday, releasing a supposed Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) internal sales video. The video, “Rocking Our Sales” by Bruce ServicePack and the Vista Street Band, features a Bruce Springsteen lookalike singing about Vista’s improvements in “security, desktop and mobility, and productivity.” And there’s even a sax solo.
This did not "hit back" at Vista critics, but reenforced just how out of touch Microsoft marketing really is.
Later in the day, it was revealed that the video was a spoof by Microsoft in an attempt to show its lighter side. And all the critics had egg on their faces.
Sorry, no egg here. The video sucked then and it sucked now. But we now have the added bonus of Colin Steele to make fun of too!
