Microsoft: "the worst technology ad of all time"

[techfreak85]

the graphics at the end reminded me of windows 95ish.

How is this real? I thought that was an Onion article at first.

So they ran the copier again. Safari has this.

look at the blue thing. Does the same thing I think.

How could MS think for a microsecond that this would actually be a good idea. If Apple has the greenest line of notebooks, then I guess MS must have the yellowest line of software.

Disgusting. Horrible. Sick. Crazy. Inappropriate. Seriously MS? It wasn't funny, it didn't actually help the product,
(1. They just associated IE8 with puke, 2. Most people WOULD want to know what their spouse is doing on the computer if he/she has something to hide, and it's not likely to make them puke.)
I doubt parents want their little kids randomly hearing that stuff, (or seeing for that matter) and really it was just a failed cheap ad that never should have happened.

When I first watched it I honestly thought the same, the ad would've been good, if it wasn't actually by MS...
