I’m not sure why but I’ve been a bit intrigued lately by some Microsoft advertisements. From print ads to television commercials. Here’s two to compare real quick. The first one is an old one that I don’t remember.
In quite a bit of contrast, here’s a more contemporary commercial from Microsoft.

Now that we know that the next version of Windows will be referred to as Windows 7, we can all get on with our lives right? I’m sure you’ve been waiting on the edge of your seat for that news haven’t you.
My question is why doesn’t the Microsoft website have any information about the new […]
After browsing around through the "I’m A PC" advertising campaign website on the Microsoft domain, I found this imagery that I thought was very powerful. To me that’s great advertising creativity.
The idea of Windows vs. Walls

The new Microsoft ads have been out for awhile now and they are a serious improvement over the previous Seinfeld and Gates ads that preceded them.

My boss found the Tree Size Free application that quickly identifies large files or directories of […]
As my issues with not being able to re-install Windows Live Writer continue, I’m actively working with a couple of different Microsoft folks that are trying to figure out what the deal is with my machine.
Today at Blog World Expo ‘08 I spoke with Tris Hussey, who’s a big supporter of external blog editors, specifically […]
The video above is the extended version of the 2nd Microsoft advertising campaign with Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates.
Now that we’ve all seen the 2nd commercial in the new Seinfeld/Microsoft advertising campaign and giving our opinions, Microsoft is getting rid of Seinfeld. They’re saying it was all part of the […]
First of all, I can’t stand the functionality and feature of the Windows Live Installer. There’s a single installation file, then you select the additional products you want to include in your installation.
MICROSOFT PLEASE STOP DOING THIS!

It’s not a GPS question or a new Microsoft Trips & Street promotion, I’m really just letting you know where the heck I’ve been the past number of days.
