New Microsoft Ads Are In

Posted Sep 19, 2008 by Rich Menga  

From the "Nobody really gives a flying f*#$" category (but a good watch anyway), Microsoft has already unveiled some new ads which are more on target with what they normally do.

Here’s one of them. It’s all about "I’m a PC".

Just to show you how bland the above ad is, Microsoft hasn’t really done any decent ads since Windows 95.

Compare and contrast:

Now ask yourself: Doesn’t that really make you want Windows 95?

You’re darn right it does. Those are the kind of ads that work.

Which Of These Traits Applies To YOUR Computing Life?...

    I liked the new ad! Also, I noticed that the “Start Me Up” song in the 95 ad was clumsily edited to excise the potentially backfire-ready line “You make a grown man cry!”. Mmh… interesting.

    Wow, that W95 add is so much better than any of their new adds. lol

    But hey, you know what?

    Apparently MS is confident enough not to crap on someone else to try to sell their stuff!!!
