I think this is a hoax and they are successful to make it like it is. Well done.

I was kind of disappointed with the Ad. In fact, the Ad Production company should have been fired. I was kind of expecting Microsoft to kick some butts after being put on the defensive by a whole series of cool Mac Ads and I was really very very disappointed.

Looks like Bill Gates have lost his magical touch and it was the right decision for him to step down. He should have really just retired from the scene. Now he's really implicated and being stereotyped as distasteful and boring.

this commercial ad makes me like apple more and more.

i don't understand the whole reasoning behind this unnecessary ad.it's ridiculous that money should be spent on a ad about nothing.i mean it wasn't even funny.

first the xbox has the rrod problem and now they're putting out things like this!microsoft is really digging their own multi-billion dollar grave.

and i can't wait to see them fall.

Bill Gates should forget about his sitcom career and stick to his business.

The weird mysterious family could also be Bundy family.

The main problem of Microsoft is how to sell upgrades. Their market isn't expanding, thus only upgrades are the goal.
Still Bill and Jerry are not funny and there is no relation to go and buy an XP upgrade to Vista.

At last; truth in advertising. This ad is kinda like the Mac ads, only it just doesn't work as well.

Really?! Is nobody getting it? The whole blogospehere is talking about this ad, yes in a expected (negative) manner but you can bet your ass that's strategy.

The situation is that Microsoft just can't do anything good anymore these days and everybody is just aping each others opinion (saw the Mojave experiment?) which is just not fair, even considering the failures.

So in a situation where MS is already on the floor and everyone is kicking them. A expensive ad in wich they claim how great Vista is and that we should buy it, would be immediately axed by the biased blogosphere and that would be the end of it.
So no they didnt come out with something the public could (again) further bash on, they came out with something no one seems to actually get in the first place.

So now there is a whole blogosphere out there with sharpened pencils waiting to axe whatever comes out of the gates.. and guess what now they have the difficult job to axe something they don't get.
You see that al these anonymous loudmouths are trying to make sense of it and are desperately seeking an excuse, to link the ad to Vista, wich they actually cant... , try to criticize the agency, wich they actually cant.

The only thing we can do is talk about it... and at the same time come to a sad realization that there is simply nothing to pick on, ending up being confronted with your own negative mindset that bothers you in the first place, not Microsoft.

Oh yes - that famous blend of Jap and Brit humour.
If you mean that British humour is sureal and Japanese humour seems to involve lots of pain then you are spot on. This ad has launched a new genre of comedy - BritJap...no..JapBrit...hmm..Jit..almost there...YES - it is completely JIT just like vista.
