OK T-bone, time for some serious crunching

I’ve just read that Microsoft was spoofing itself with the Vista SP1 video.
I’m not so sure – they’ve got a pretty long and rich history of making shite promotional films, such as this one, which just keeps on giving.
Still, fair play to MS if it is a spoof – I certainly believed it. They haven’t always done so well with intentional comedy, as this early Steve Ballmer Windows 1.0 advert shows. By the way, watch it right through for the world’s most surreal ending.
Be sure to get two minutes in to that first film; from then on it’s just shocking. Dear lord.
I *love* that Ballmer ad. Everybody knows monkey boy and the genius of ‘developers, developers, developers’ but far too few have seen that particular slice of insanity.
Especially in Nebraska.
Anyone get that, by the way? I’m assuming it’s some state tax law or something. Someone asked the same question on this thread but there’s no insight, except the guy who says “Vista Ultimate costs almost $500 and doesn’t come with Reversi! WTF?”
JChung2006, this Bud’s for you.
