I love how they have the black guy, and a hip looking regular dude with the plaid shirt and glasses (who throws up the hang ten at the end). Could've used an Asian, though.

This is so bad I almost suspect Apple of having made it as a guerrilla counter-advertising.

No one does clueless quite like Microsoft.

Hahahaha... yeah, I had a similar reaction: "Hey look, Windows 7 is great! Black people, moderately attractive milfs, my mom, AND vaguely hip white dudes can use it!"

That would be some next level ****.

Reminds me of the Magic Bullet. Kind of funny, since Win7 is supposed to be M$'s Silver Bullet.

Possibly, but all it makes me want to do is laugh at M$ even harder every time I watch it.
