Microsoft Launches Pro-Vista Ad Campaign

Sadness

As I've already commented on AI, this first ad (with the shoes) looks really sad and sentimental. Kind of a goodbye from Microsoft, there's definitely no aggressive push as in 'Get a Mac', there's just nothing, the autumn, the sentimentality and fading away.

That ad was complete and utter trash. What were they advertising? Shoes?

Seems that it was a little over your head.
