New I'm a PC Ad: Windows 7 Was Your Idea
Microsoft released Windows 7 yesterday, and with it came a new ad for the company's I'm a PC campaign.
The theme of the latest installation is that Windows 7 is an operating system created by you, for you. Microsoft tells users that, since Windows 7 was created using user feedback, the operating system was actually our idea.
Sure it's not Kylie, the adorable, little, Asian kid who was on hand in September to show us all the "happy words" about Windows 7, but it does kind instill hope for all the folks who felt so hard done by by Vista.
What do you think of the latest ad?

tayb I like that asian kid. I would like to hear more happy words to the background of hard rock music please.Reply -
mcnuggetofdeath As a huge proponent of FOSS who rages on both OSX and Windows from time to time, I gotta say I really like the commercials recently released by both companies. Simple, funny, and to the point.Reply -
If Windows 7 was really my idea, then where's the up-one-level button?! Also, where's the open source code and/or my payment for helping? :PReply

Maybe the I'm a Mac crowd can learn a thing or two about how to make commercials... -
amdgamer666 This was that commercial that somebody thought they heard a girl in it drop the f-bomb and posted an article about it.Reply

Personally, I just don't hear it.

That's what they get for half-listening to the commercial. The girl is clearly saying 'frickin'. -

Just makes it more natural...like what, you never said that in your life? -
archigos Meh, not that great of an ad. Wasn't a big fan of the new Apple one though. If I had to choose which one I enjoyed more, I'd pick this one.Reply -
