Anyone heard about this

Are they serious? Have I been conned into thinking Americans CAN do irony?

As far as I know, they are genuine, I read about about it on The Register a while back.

I don't think it's meant to be ironic, just american (you have seen the advert with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld havn't you? I didn't get it either)

if Google had been a bit quicker launching their new Linux based system they'd have been laughing loudly.

17 secs was all I could stomach

That was so cringeworthy I could only watch a minute of it :0(

Anyone who does not think that Microsoft live on a planet of their own, wonder no more.

It just throws up images of tupperware. The door rings. Ding-dong - it's the Microsoft lady. Hmmm.

I was thinking more Ann Summers than tupperware, because there's a good chance that using Windows 7 will leave you f***ed.
