I had respect for Microsoft for not doing dick advertisements like Apple, and then I saw this...The ironic part is that it is an anti-Google video, on Youtube :|

The first ad is funny because it's kind of true.

Google launches "revolutionary new experiences" that promptly fall flat on their faces.

They are totally spot on about G-Mail too.

But I still use it because it's ironically easier to configure Gmail on Microsoft Outlook than Hotmail ಠ\_ಠ

Seems a little immature to me... You beat your competition by producing better products not by making silly adverts insulting their attempts. Im not impressed

I could care less if two multi-billion dollar corporations want to go at each other. Not sure why you guys are getting all upset about it.

There were quite a few MP3 players that were on the market before the iPod, in some cases several years before.

One's only(legally) avalible for a specific, over priced product brand.

The other not backed by any major company.

Microsoft has no serious OS competition, yet.

Ok the email thing is true, but I have adblock so it doesn't apply to me. MSN spams my inbox, google doesn't.

IE is terrible and will always be. Google chrome ftw.

Microsoft should just stick to video games.

Googlighting one is hilarious. And the end is nothing short of amazing. Google is a fine enough company, but I can't argue that Google Docs is a poor enterprise solution. "Does it work like Excel and Word?" "Potentially."

Unsurprisingly, it looks like Microsoft is jealous of the trust between Google and its customers.

Sorry, Microsoft, but you're too late. You're way too late.

The commercial looks like an adultswim advertisement. You would think if they were serious about attacking their competitor they would at least invest more than $100 on the 3 actors that played their part.

"What do you mean your software isn't 100% compatible with one of your biggest competitors?!"

-_-

I like both Google and Microsoft products. They both have their uses and functions and I don't see it changing anytime soon.

Microsoft has no serious OS competition, yet.

Which would those be? Open Office is free and a great alternative to Office. I'd say Ubuntu/Linux is a serious competitor in the OS department, and free. The choices are there people just dont look.

It still only has a really small percentage of market share compared to Windows, in terms of functionality most people would get along fine with Linux especially the newer Ubuntu builds. The newer builds are making Linux more user friendly, but most people buy pre built and they always come with Windows, so I doubt the total dominance of Windows will end any time soon. The biggest threat to Microsoft market share right now is in the browser market, internet explorer is going down. Unless IE10 does some major changes to compete or beat Chrome/Firefox with features the general person will want, I think they will continue to eat into Microsofts current dominance. Office and Windows are nowhere near being threatened.

Why is people surprised by this? MS is by far the company that uses more FUD campaigns than any other and they have been doing this since the 80s. They did it with java, free software, Linux, etc. Microsoft invests more money spreading crap and trying to undermine their competition than actually building quality products. I still can't understand how people defend this monopolistic company.

I'd watch them but my computer is currently busy doing some Windows update, or maybe install, or god knows what so it's running at 1/100th normal speed.

Maybe later.

While they are stupid ads trying to be funny, its no different or less effective than apples. Afterall, people are still dull enough to think anti-virus software is required for a windows computer.... and that they break more often and are a bigger threat to viruses than Mac (when ironically Windows is the best protected at its core, mac being worse than linux.) Microsoft take a lot of **** from people despite giving so much over the years. its a shame ignorant people like to jump on a bandwagon.
