Am I the only one that thinks it is funny how much they ripped of the styles of Wes Anderson and David O. Russel (I heart Huckabees), not to mention Monty Python and the Beatles. Don’t get me wrong, I love “influences”, but if you are going to rip styles off this blatantly its best to do something better or at least somewhat original. It is one thing to be influenced, but another to take the look and feel, tone, music styles, casting styles, mood, illusration style, and even plot-lines to some extent. geez… and all for “beloved” MS? What a waste. Anyone else here prefer the honesty of Apple’s campaigns right now?

I’m a graphic designer by profession and know quite a bit about different marketing techniques/approaches…

…am I the ONLY one getting tired of these stupid ‘viral’ campaigns? Just show me your product, I’ll decide if I want to buy it or not….geez.

Are the marketer smoking the same stuff the coder got at Mircosoft?

I liked the first one, LOVED the second one and I hate this one. Not funny, not interesting, not anything. Flip 3D is sooo mocked up (you don’t get Flip 3D by typing on keyboard).

I hope MS isnt paying anyone to produce this junk.
