Tonight, during the last commercial break of the Colbert Report, an advertisement caught my eye. The ad depicted several breathtaking scenes: a rocket launch, a person coming home with a piece of the Berlin Wall, a pro basketball player being amazed by a young kid’s ability, and more. It was one of those commercials where you’re intrigued and you wonder what it’s an advertising. Low and behold, it was an advertisement for Windows Vista. Quite a good one might I add. It definitely caught my attention. I’m curious to see what other ads will be unveiled in this new “Wow” ad campaign.
I should also mention the ad carried yet another “Wow” effect, at least for me. The ending contained AMD’s logo, saying something along the lines of “for the ultimate wow”. I guess Microsoft isn’t too thrilled about the Apple-Intel situation. Unfortunately, I can’t find a link to the ad anywhere online. If I find one, I’ll update it here. If I can’t by tomorrow, I’ll capture it myself. It’s sitting on my TiVo so it shouldn’t be too hard to get.

I saw a different version. I thought, while catchy, it was dumb. Maybe it’s me. Course, I also don’t think Vista is anything to get up in arms about. It’s a sad achievement (compared to what it could have been)
The add is a good one but it does nothing for me. Maybe it is because I do not think Vista is anything to be wowed by. I’m not really impressed. Microsoft needs to step up there game if they still want to compete in the future. You can only steal ideas from someone else so many times. Eventually you have to come up with your own. For what it could and should be Vista is more disapointing than “wow”.
Since this is possibly their last big boxed release it’s a shame that Vista underwhelms.
Yeah, Windows Vista is falling fast.
