hahaha pretty good. That owns the mac vs pc ads
:blink: Ummm... On what planet? It was seriously unfunny and didn't really talk about the product at all, except maybe if you count eating a computer like a cake. :unsure:
The best part was the photo on Bill's ID. Other than that I didn't like it at all.
A big "AMEN" to that! :laugh:

I just hope that this wasn't all of Jerry's $10M salary from Microsoft.

I feel bad for them.

out of all the ideas, out of all the creativity they could have put on this campaign, they had a blank canvas where they could change the image of windows...they went with this?

wow worst advertising i've ever seen. Didn't find it funny at all!

Mac vs PC are actually watchable compared these.

I thought it was ok, but as said many times it really didnt relate to vista at all..

But then again, microsoft is not going to pull an apple and sit and make fun of a product. They are better than that.

lol that was better in what way? I'd Rather have someone make fun of a product worth making fun of.

It wasn't that good but I'm guessing that they are building up to something later on. Really didn't give much details of why Vista is better but it didn't bash the other OS like the silly Mac vs. PC commercials which gives little details why OSX is better but takes up most of the time bashing Vista.

It also lacked...

Umm...

Anything about Vista!

It truly was "a commercial about nothing!"

Microsoft needs to fire the commercials creative director, heck just fire everybody that thought that up, it was bad, only good/funny part was the platinum card holder bit

I just don't understand the commercial. What's it supposed to be promoting? What about it is supposed to be funny? Is it even supposed to be funny? (If it has Seinfeld in it you'd think so.)

It just doesn't have a point. What a complete waste of money.

Bill is a Platinum Clown Member - yeay!

So, how exactly is that related to Windows? - That the shoe circus place offers many versions/levels of membership cards just like how windows offers different versions of windows?

They've totally proved fools outta themselves weather i relate it to my theory or not.

    • Windows 11 KB5094126, KB5093998 bugging out Office apps but it may not be Microsoft's fault by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. Although the tech giant did not acknowledge any major problems, some users online reported various issues ranging from OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. You can read about them in this dedicated piece. While there is still no confirmation about those problems from Microsoft the company has admitted to another bug which we did not report on. The tech giant has confirmed it has received reports of an issue in which certain third-party applications may be unable to launch Microsoft Office apps or open Office documents after installing the Patch Tuesday. This affects both Windows 11 as well as Windows 10. The company says the problem impacts a subset of applications that rely on OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) automation to communicate with Microsoft Office programs. According to Microsoft, affected scenarios involve third-party software attempting to open Office applications or documents from within their own interface. In such cases, the Office program may fail to launch altogether, or the requested document may not open. Oddly there may not be any error message, which probably makes the issue difficult to diagnose. The bug affects several Office products, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and other apps in the Microsoft Office suite when they are launched through the affected software. These include tax and accounting software such as CCH Engagement and Workpaper Manager, dental practice management solutions like Dentrix and Softdent, as well as the popular research and reference management tool Zotero. Microsoft adds that other applications using similar Office integration methods could also experience the same problematic behavior. To understand the issue it is important to look at OLE, the Microsoft technology involved. OLE allows different applications to work together and share data, while its Automation feature lets one program control another. Thus this enables third-party software to launch Microsoft Office apps, open documents, and perform tasks automatically without requiring users to switch between programs. Because many accounting, healthcare, research, and business applications rely on OLE automation to interact with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other Office apps, any disruption can break those workflows. As a result, affected software may be unable to open Office documents or launch Office applications even though the programs themselves continue to work normally. At the moment the company has not provided a permanent fix though it has confirmed that engineers are actively working on a resolution, which will be delivered through a future Windows update. As such additional details will be shared once more information becomes available. In the meantime, Microsoft recommends a simple workaround for affected users whic is to open the Office application or document directly rather than launching it through the third-party program. For enterprise customers and organizations managing larger deployments, Microsoft says an additional mitigation is available. Admins experiencing the problem on their managed devices are advised to contact Microsoft Support for business to obtain and apply the workaround.
