P.K. Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I like Charlie Brooker. And I particularly liked this article. Windows 7 is nearly upon us and in one of the most naff and cringeworthy ideas Gates Marketing has ever come up with they suggest you hold a "Windows 7 Launch Party" where you demonstrate and promote it's "virtues". It really is awful, nearly as bad as the "We're the Poor Acting family and this is us freezing to death on a beach in our Isle of Man".

bluemonday Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Hi, We're having a party to launch www.shopiom.com. It's a real fun event and there'll be lots of really cool things happening.

joeyconcrete Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 For some reason this version made me laugh Likewise - I suspected their motives were not simply based around Windows 7. Interesting though, I've seen a few comments saying Microsoft produced something so crap, so cheesey - in the knowledge that it would be picked up on, modified, dubbed etc - all helping to promote Windows 7. I mean, if it was a formal introduction to Windows 7, how many would watch it? (Still, I suspect it was a genuine attempt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
