Love the ad, love the music. Does anyone know what the music is playing in the background?

I’ve got it:

THE CAR IS THE 2008 VOLVO C70 with added Navigation.

Am I right? Do I get a cookie?

Showing the Mac Air is a great idea illustrating that Mesh is agnostic. The important thing about Mesh isn’t about the OS, it’s the interactivity, whether that be a smartphone, a different OS, car or picture frame. In that light I’m surprised they didn’t show someone on a PS3 getting the picture.

The Zune + Mac is interesting because no matter how you slice it there is a new concept in there. Either it’s a Mac-based Zune client, an iTunes plug-in, a stand-alone Mac wireless sync client or it’s actually connecting wirelessly to the airport’s public WiFi and hitting the Mesh cloud. All conceptual but it shows at least someone over there is thinking about these things. The only other option, which would be the least exciting, is that the woman he just had an affair with is standing over by the bar and ’squirted’ him a track to remind him of their torried affair. See, that option is much less exciting.

The only thing I felt was off was the XBox segment. I would much rather have seen a notification popup about a new picture available, or even something that links with Live Calendar, “Dad home at 8:30, Clean room” or even what you can already do today which would be an IM recieved via the messenger integration. I didn’t see how the 360 had anything to do with Mesh so either they edited it at the last second not to leak a coming feature, or they knew they wanted it to connect somehow but couldn’t figure out a good story or it was just product placement.

Most likely the car is a Ford, or maybe a Fiat 500 (which also run Microsoft based ICE)?

The Macbook Air already has enough marketing from Apple; Microsoft doesn’t need to add, even this much.
