hahaha that poor guy married a freak poser...

Seriously, thats the worst product ad I have ever seen.

Miss the old ones, like the one that showed a guy talking (obviously Windows Mobile powered smartphone) with his wife about his birtday party and gifts. Then, she arriving home just to share some info with her coworkers via Sharepoint and Messenger. Later you could see the full family viewing a video in Media Center made by their son in Movie Maker showing caps from his father life.

And you are right. It seemed that they "implied" many things as someone said before me. The guy using the Xbox 360 controller implied they were accesing Media Center via Xbox 360. But they never showed the Media Center/Xbox 360 Remote or the Media Center itself.

And the wife deleting his Anime Marathon just piss me off and show how poser she is cause Anime arent Cartoons like she implied saying that it could be ok if he has 4yo.

I really really hope that they not only rework this but give a free Marriage Lawyer to that poor guy cause, he rocks but needs to divorce ASAP cause she is a lame poser freaking wife.

It is good to see Microsoft doing this promotion, it will no doubt benefit the Windows Vista sales. However I must agree the ad is shockingly bad :P

All the Best

Gotta say it was well-scripted and well-acted. I'm glad they decided to go with a couple of skilled improv actors who made it work.

It's a funny skit and it targets high-income couples with no kids and a big screen TV.

"Other problems here include never saying you need Windows Vista, or even saying that it’s included in Windows Vista. Just let people know what they already have."

Well, that's always assuming they have one of the versions of Vista that come with Media Center, of course :-).

Different versions was such a dumb idea.
