“Windows 7 is everything customers wanted. And what did we want? Less waiting. Less clutter. Less clicks. Faster. Easier. Leaner. Meaner. Safer. Cleaner. Simplerrrrrr.”

Oh, so Windows 7 was Mac’s idea? I mean, that’s a description of Mac compared to Windows. I just want to be clear.

“The whole “I’m a PC and Windows 7 was my idea” concept adds a feeling of inclusion or ‘togetherness’ with everyone participating to create Windows 7. I like it.”

Except it’s just marketing nonsense. Microsoft is still clinging to a proprietary model, which means locking users out, not including them.

There’s another OS that uses a marketing strategy which promotes a sense of ‘inclusion and togetherness’ – Ubuntu (Ubuntu is an African word that loosely means ‘community,’ or more specifically means “I am what I am because of who we all are”). However Ubuntu’s marketing strategy is actually backed up by what Ubuntu is- an OS for which you don’t have to pay licencing fees to use, and which you are free to alter and tweak as much as you want. And there is a massive on-line community of users from which any individual user can get tech support for free. We are Linux, and Ubuntu WAS our idea.

One of the ads was saying about a feature that’s been in NT since NT 3.1/3.5 i think !! So much for “my idea” then

but why do the actors change in the middle of the commercials? When they have their “aha” moment, like when the girl says “my pc should be safer” the actress is different for the ‘memory’ shot. Weird.

You want an operating system that actually WAS built by the community? Then go with Ubuntu and stop wasting your money.

Of course the truer version is “I’m a MAC, and Windows 7 was MY idea.”

I’m a PC and ditching Vista was my idea.
