[100%]

why shoes?

I seriously thought it was a funny ad.. I'm with JP on this one. Quality

its funny, but i think its very debtable if its serves what microsoft was achieving to do- ie: create brand support etc, rather its been ridiculed for its lack of showing anything the irony being Jerry is on the ad whose show exemplified being all about nothing.

People have jumped on this and suggested that it says alot of the brand- sucks at advertising and its operating system sucks even more.

But forgetting Microsoft's intentions and all that this ad was amusing, it would have served its purpose if it was a beer ad

why shoes?

Because it humanized Bill by showing that he has feet, just like you or I.

Well, actually I don't- I have caterpillar treads- but you get the idea.

What makes you think that's what they were achieving to do.

That is the beauty of an ad about nothing it don't have to confirm anything and it just leaves everything up for speculation and hence talking and speculating about the product grows without evening trying.

Evening hardly ever tries...she's a well known layabout.
Noon, on the other hand, is one go-getting mofo.

The adage there's no such thing as bad publicity may in time apply but I think in this case talking isn't buying.

I do feel like having a churro though.



Clocker what are you achieving to do?

I know Bill is like the head of microsoft but why is still being in the ads when he'll be leaving soon.

The more I think about it, I must admit I don't know what result Microsoft and its highly paid marketing function wanted with this ad as most people immediately started bagging it out. If anything it magnified even further their constant failings to the consumer.

So with all the bad publicity about microsoft recently cough cough vista, and the popularity of apple continuously growing like an exponential function and the ever looming threat of google I would have thought they could have used Jerry to show a promising Microsoft future.

In the normal circumstances yes, but Microsoft is pretty well known and the ad didn't make me think happily about Microsoft but all the problems its given me as an O/S.
