I don’t care about Family Guy or Microsoft — I only skimmed the article — but I so like the RDM commentary, that I read those. :-)

My pet peeve is why do websites suddenly require one to enter ones email address twice? It made sense in the case of setting passwords, because they’re not echoed, and so a typo would not be apparent.

This is not the case with email addresses. I simply type it once, and then cut and paste it. What sense does that make? Can someone please explain?

Anyway, keep up the good work, Daniel!

I’d say that this stuff is amateurish, at best.
Also, I can’t understand how these people fail to have a ‘vision’ for their product. They seem to think: let’s throw money at an ad campaign, something good will surely happen. No target audience, no ’soul’ in their product, and a very bad execution at it. wow!

there were also the Ricky Gervais / Stephen Merchant (Gervais is in the UK Office David Brent character) Microsoft UK training videos.

i found them amusing enough.

With a billion people contributing to Windows 7 the thought comes to mind,

Too many cooks spoil the broth.

I have two words. Duh. Duh and really? Like everyone else has asked, did anyone at Microsoft ever watch Family Guy before putting the idea forward?

Guess I’m still pretty shocked and partially angered by Gates’ advertainment appearance on Frasier which I was either entirely unaware of or repressed away. Seems to me that this coupled with a terrible ad campaign for Windows 7 here in the UK (incredibly dickish guy stating he made Win7, he can keep that badge of honour) is yet more proof Microsoft can’t advertise their own OS worth a damn.
