Microsoft's Marketing Still Sucks

Well Microsoft still sucks at marketing. In fact, they suck more than ever.

Some of you might know that Microsoft is launching their new operating system, Windows 7, in the next couple weeks, so to try to get people to buy it they have hired a company that markets "house parties." So their marketing strategy for Windows 7 is to try to get people to have "house parties" for Windows 7. I'm not exactly clear on what a house party is, but it sounds like a less geeky LAN Party (Local Area Network Party). Basically where everyone brings their computers to someone's house and plays with them.

I'm not bashing the idea of a house party as a marketing strategy, but the actual video they made to promote this is absolutely horrible. The acting is horrendous and makes me laugh every time I watch it.

So without further ado, here is Microsoft's Windows 7 house party video, Enjoy!
