Microsoft is heating up the battle of the ads against Apple with the new “Microsoft Office 2010: The Movie” trailer released. Call me what ever you like, but this isn’t half bad from Microsoft right?! Check out the Office 2010 campaign website here.

In my opinion, its just disgusting…and absolutely miss aligned of the communication that microsoft started with windows…
HORRIBLE!
I thought it was funny. Refreshing to see Microsoft show a sense of humour.
What a ham-fisted piece of shit. Seriously – forced humour, bolted together narrative, over the top effects (would have been funnier if all the sets, costumes and locations weren’t so schmick).
I don’t uderstand what Microsoft are trying to do here? What’s the message? I agree with you Macelo, they have shifted their communication focus completely here and it doesn’t seem to have worked…The humour doesnt flow, i didn’t get the ‘plot’. A great example of how trying to be too clever has not worked….
Actually is really funny, but is Microsoft and there are a lot of bad marketing around it, everything done by MS is prejudged. Yes they did a lot of great stuff, that eventually become so bad because they where was conservative to change. And now they are changing i hope on good side.
I want that font!
I thought it was a very professional piss-take until I went to the website and Firefox demanded that I install Silverlight to view the content. I thought to myself “how ironic that these guys are hassling Microsoft and yet using Microsoft products”. I didn’t bother installing Silverlight, I just clicked on the “for mobile devices” link instead. That’s when I saw the interviews with Microsoft employees and then I realised “oh, it’s not a joke, it’s an ad!”
If it’s like the last PC/MS ad campaign–”I’m a PC”–it was done by a production company that uses solely Macs . . . A bit too clever . . . and way out of touch.
