Microsoft Just Isn’t Cool

When will Microsoft learn that it is not cool. It’s not about whether the software they write works. (A lot of it doesn’t.) No one brags about running Windows. Their latest campaign makes a nice attempt to making Windows seem easy and fun to use.

Let me tell you what is wrong with this particular commercial. You might have missed it, distracted by cute little girl. The child they are using is not a normal little girl. She may be four, but she is a genius and probably has her PhD in quantum physics. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the commercial again. She is emailing her mom and dad. She’s living on her own!

So really, this commercial doesn’t make people want to have a computer that runs Windows. It makes people want a little Asian girl.

  1. I had an almost identical conversation the other night asking my friend WHY a girl would need to email her family? Can’t she just show them her fish… you know… IN PERSON? Where are her parents and WOW if I let a 4 year old kid have email… unless its some parental email thing like those Disney phones where you CAN ONLY email the police, the paramedics, and parents/family… I don’t know if they’ve invented that yet.
