Poll: M$ Office System commercials are retarded: yes or no?

[FreshPrince]

yes

With all that $ backing up their marketing department...you'd think they would do a much better job than that!

1. Nice poll
2. Like any of Microsoft's commercials is anywhere decent, or even resembles the truth in any way.

Don't get me wrong, I love Office Systems 2003, but the commercials just suck.

I like the one where the guy is in his office alone and dancing. Just because the guy is dancing funny. 🙂

 

[LordMorpheus]

I think they are funny.

I mean, I don't think that MS Office merits that celebration, but I still think they are funny . . . . . for the first 3 or 4 times you see each one during a single football game.

Why does MS need to advertise their mainline products? Their minor games and minor misc software I can see - but the mainline stuff, Windows, Office, Flight Sim and such DO NOT need advertising because *EVERYONE* that uses software in that area knows that it exists.

I don't even remember ever seeing an commercial for this yet (but then i don't watch tv much). But i absolutely LOVE Office 2003. Best release by far.

But not everybody knows there are newer versions out (or what the new versions offer). I get clients asking me for 2000 and XP all the time still.

I dunno dude, my local news runs stories on new MS software. It's sick.

I can think of much more retarded and worse commericials than Microsoft's. That old Navy commerical makes me actually change the channel. Only a truly retarded person could watch that.

I assume you're talking about their current campaign that rips off the whole NFL Films feel...right?? That campaign will be gone after the SuperBowl.
