Really. After seeing this and finding out it isn’t a hoax, my resume now has been updated to reflect my time at Microsoft as “the dark years.”
I know I’m not the target market. I know I’m an edge case (some would say head case) but are there really customers out there who will react positively to this? Can you really make a whole company out of this stuff?
Microsoft executives complained about Scoble making things uncomfortable and they approve this? Steve, bring back the dinosaur ads; making people feel old and stupid has to be better then this.
Wow..
I never worked there, there are no pictures, and I have all the records.
Wow…
This is the most credible one of the bunch:

This is hilarious. What really stood out for me was that there was NO alcohol! I can't imagine even acting in something this bad without being fall down drunk -- let alone do it for real without enough booze to float a ship. Unreal. Can't wait to see the Apple ads that come out of this.

Anyone else notice the clock in the background? It jumps around between 3:30 and 5:00 all throughout the video. I thought that was the most hilarious part.

So Rick, I guess we can take you off the 'I'm hosting a Windows 7 party list' - would you reconsider?

So, Rick - wanna make me an offer to destroy every proof in my possession that you DID work there? :-)
Oh, guess I should have made this a private post... sorry. ;-)

Wow. This has a 'handmade in Redmond' label, right? The person who green-lighted this should be outed- they're a big part of the culture problem among the borg.

Funny Or Die have a great parody of this video... http://www.funnyordie.co.uk/videos/ef83afc272/hosting-your-windows-7-torrenting-party?rel=player
In fact, my friend Gene DeRose (founder of HouseParty) loves it!
Happy Win 7 Day!
