    If my decision to buy Windows 7 depended upon that ad, I certainly wouldn't get it.

    Of course, that would be stupid, because I know that Windows 7 is awesome, but I don't think it's going to appeal that well to the general public.

    That's obviously directed at a specific group: teenagers. And the shaky feature seem like it was created by a 5th grader.

    I couldn't have said it better myself. This commercial is a disgrace to Windows 7. :mad:

    These are pretty good commercials. Commercials designed to show the average consumer that Windows 7 and Microsoft in turn are cool, hip, and that 7 is a good product. This is what advertising is all about. Hilarious when tech people rant about a commercial aimed at average joe doe and mary jane.
