    At the start of the item, didn't you get the option to install Silverlight?

    It reminded me of Creature Comforts, a show we have over here that takes genuine soundbites from the general public and adds them to animations of animals to imply that the animalsI were making the quotes.
    It's done by Nick Park of Wallace and Grommit fame and is very, very funny.
    Quite liked the woman with the long auburn hair. She was HOT. :drool

    Haha. I saw that the other day. MS is kind of poking fun at themselves which is refreshing. It's a pretty clever marketing tool also. The one on YouTube has over 42.000 views. [noparse]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsMFyo8DWs4[/noparse]

    Hi EvilF

    I thought the same as it was a clever ad which is fun and thankfully they didnt do the Seinfeld/Gates type of ad with this, did feedback that they should follow the same idea and the Internet Ninja for Windows 7 ads, the bag of leafs off eBay was the clincher, have me in tears when he came out with that line, plus the subtle references to other practices was good.
