The last 24 hours have brought us two very important Microsoft videos. The first is the next ad in the “I’m A PC” series. Not sure who got hired/fired over there, but lately, Microsoft seems to have made some serious changes in their marketing strategies. To put it more simply, they are making good ads.
The second one is what seems to be a leaked video of Microsoft’s new mobile OS, Windows Mobile 6.5, running on an HTC Touch HD. Now, I cannot lie, there do seem to be some new screens that look somewhat appealing in this video, but as opposed to their marketing team, their mobile development team does not seem to be doing anything new and exciting.
Watch and tell me what you think.

Ok, If they do one or two ads with these kids its cute, but if they do a whole series of them…overkill
having kids star in their ads is good strategy. it prevents a few mac supremacists from employing character assassination of whoever stars in the ad.
@curt think about what one of those adds would look like.. ooo. that could get messy 🙂
