Windows 7 Ad Kills With Cuteness [Video]

Windows 7 Ad Kills With Cuteness [Video]: "


Microsoft has experienced mixed results with its ad campaigns. A Seinfeld-Gates pairing was panned in the tech press, but its “Laptop Hunters” series had a positive impact on consumers’ value perception of Microsoft products (even if Apple did insist that one ad be changed).

Come to mention it, who can forget that bizarre projectile vomiting ad for Internet Explorer 8? Microsoft later attempted to remove the ad, after it had been shared widely around the web.
