So Close.

Sooo…Windows 7.

I've been reading the reviews so far and apprently it's delivering on promises. Minus the virus issues which just come with the territory, most user reviews are happy. They love the new interface, find it more user friendly and stable. This is all great news for Microsoft whose proven a much better punching bag than OS the past three years.

But there is one new feature that needs some explanation. This video:



Whose idea was this? Alex, you responsible? This does not make Microsoft "cool." Are they really telling me to throw a tupperware party for Windows? It's like those Saturday morning infomercials for food processors. Was the marketing budget already spent on Seinfeld?

Finally the product is relatively good. But this? You were so close!

"Yeah....

I have no idea what the hell is going on with this video. I only made it about 2 minutes in because it was just too painful to continue watching.

I noticed the comments on the video had been disabled; I bet the trolls and bloggers had a field day with this thing before they cut off the comments.

"I know the constantly moving camera style is popular, but this was so severe that I almost threw up... AND I learned nothing about Windows 7. I've seen a few advertisements for Windows 7, but I've never even seen a screen shot of any of it's new features. Granted, I haven't really spent any time looking for them either. If I'm ever tempted to switch back to Microsoft and PC's, would someone please slap me?"

"wow...and I don't mean that in a good way"

"yeah...the real reason why windows is getting such good reviews...it's new big features are all Mac OS knock offs. I am a mac user, and I wanted to have an open mind about Windows 7 (I have two windows based computers in the office still) so I watched some commercials on their website...and their really awesome new feature is....."spotlight"...from mac.

oh well....if you can't create anything great by having your own unique ideas I guess Microsoft's business model is make money off of other people ideas."

"and yes...the video is TOTALLY LAME. I am surprised the Mac commercials didn't use that in their constant barrage of poking fun at Microsoft."
