I am inclined to believe it is a film to get the troops fired up. I used to work for General Electric in the appliance division. They had a sales video made by the Muppets. They showed it at the end of product training classes and it definitely produced the desired results. It was funny, inspirational and got everyone motivated to go out and sell. In that light the Microsoft video is kind of sad. It would be better as a spoof.

There was too much effort and detail in the video for it to be a spoof. If it's a spoof, the audience has to get it -- but it clearly wasn't tongue-in-cheek. Remember, MSFT is first a marketing company. This video isn't targeted for you or I, but resellers. The video got You-Tubed and MSFT, being an marketing company, has tried to get out in front of it -- "It's a spoof! Wink! Wink! Don't you get it?"

>> But where's the accountability? "John Dough over in authorized us to spend $75,000 on this video." ??<< Funny punster (Dough instead of Doe), Mike. Accountability to who? First of all, you need to work in a large company to understand accountability such as this. Each entity has their own budget and rules for accountability. In a company as big as Microsoft, GM, any of the big three accounting firms, Exxon Mobil, Walmart, etc. you try to break these groups into profit/loss centers under a standard corporate hierarchy. Each one of them has a goal to make money, or defined budget to not lose more than a specified amount. Meet or exceed the expectations and life is good. Just because you think this is a waste of money does not mean it is. Any one of the company videos could have been developed as a team building exercise, marketing, or even as a spoof. If the group is meeting the targets for profitability it won't be a problem internally. If the company is profitable, it won't be a problem. Microsoft is not the only company producing videos these days. I have seen this at several other large companies I have worked at and for over the years. We can also look at the upside. *If* Microsoft did produce this video and paid for it, people made money. Videographers who shot the video, editors, producers, the video company and stockholders, extras, catering people, sound people, grips, etc. The economy is better. But no one here knows how this video was created, who created it, what it cost, or how it was funded. For all you know, it could have been created by some upstart video company for free, trying to get an in at another project or building their corporate resume. It could have even been created by a competitor to make the other company look stupid. Lots of possibilities, and lots of assumptions.

Yes, I've seen them and I was thinking about those when I replied. (I offered to my customers that I would get one of those chairs.) M$ does have a history of poking fun at itself, which in and of itself makes me hold some fleeting admiration for it, as most big companies would never do such a thing. Those films and others I've seen before feel different from this one. I tried to write satire once for the local newspaper. The editorial page editor was a friend of mine, and I asked him to make an honest assessment. I thought it was too broad, but his staff said that it was too believable! Maybe this is like that: too close to stuff that they have done in ernest to be good enough satire. But, we'll never know. Funny either way -- funnier if unintentional.

Re: [NF] How can you *not* want Vista after this?
Is that for real? A friend of mine and I did some audio tapes over the last 15 years and have them on cassettes. We wanted to put them on CD so I bought a soundblaster that "Works with Vista". I have an Ubuntu / Vista dual boot for that kind of stuff. After I don't know how many installs of software and reboots, I fired up an application to record the cassettes and "Could not detect your hardware device". I guess I should have bought a "real" sound card and not a Creative SoundBlaster. In my opinion the PC vs. Mac Yoga commercial is the most accurate Vista advertising.

Re: [NF] How can you *not* want Vista after this?
You know, in the same way the tShirted lady looked up to the lead singer and was brought up and accepted on stage, I too will look up to Microsoft -- accepted, dancing, looking down on the rest of the minions, happy with Vista and SP1. In reality, that was the longest three minutes of my life...
