Windows 7 Advert - My Idea: Crystal's Taskbar

[danagol1985]

I hate these patronising adverts for Windows 7.

A Windows PC is only difficult to use when you are one of those people who click 'OK' or 'Yes', without first reading the actual dialog.

I first used Windows NT 4.0 when I was 6. By the time I was 8, I knew windows like the back of my hand.

Windows 7 (and Vista) is just a dumbed-down, less compatible, OS targeted towards computer illiterate people.

[justthisoncetoview]

I'm a consumer and Microsoft told me to f*** off!

[elasticrubberband123]

for those of you that don't know what DSL is... it's dick sucking lips

[AFGuidesHD]

Im a pc and microsoft wouldn't listen to me

[BritishConor]

Hi, I'm David Beckham, and Harper 7 was my idea.

[McSuperfly101]

We're Kate and Gerry and open windows was our idea.

[NoShit12]

This girls deserves a dick in her mouth, now that was my idea... ;]

[agentbl]

I like Crystal. She is gorgeous. I wish I had a girlfriend like her. She's really special.

[Kazzmedia]

hi i'm crystal and i like stuffing ball gags into mens mouths in my home dungeon ...

[agentbl]

I have a program installed on my computer that makes my Windows XP look like WIndows 7. It's great.

[shutup735]

"Hi, im Adolf Hitler, and Windows 7 was my idea!"

[agentbl]

@shutup735 Adolf Hitler? Are you serious? That is so freakin' funny.

[masnyc1983]

[marksheppard]

[AddictedToPayne]

[JM763]

What is that song?

[antzzy1]

Very Very cute!

[alianzalimaeselperu]

She sounds from Nottingham . i like her but not the green eyes girl.

[viloloco5]

ya do know that Microsoft used a brit to announce how "simple" the product is yes?

going off on the stereotypical brit.

[mdhey8991]

@viloloco5

I thought it was Americans that were stereotypically dumb.

[viloloco5]

@mdhey8991 dumb is not the same as simple... idiot, lmao.

Guess you proven me wrong though just now.

[AvotheHoly]

Who is that f'ing model,lol?

[zooey90]

Who is the actress in the reenactment? the one with the BRIGHT GREEN EYES?

[moelost]

Does anyone know who the actress is who is playing Crystal? Please post her name! Thanks

[patrick95350]

I think it's a fake accent too. but ikd?

[unrulyearth]

@patrick95350 its not a fake accent...i lived in UK for 6 years....northamptonshire area...thats not a fake accent...

[shaqqy88]

is the reenactment girl the same... I find her... stunning.

[jaybone23]

She says, "Onwards, driver!" And then he drops her off at the S&M dungeon where she works as a dominatrix, spanking members of Parliament.

[jaybone23]

Hey Crystal. Wuzzup?

[cooper123456789dude]

She is in the UK, with a UK accent, driving on the left side of the road, and says "Miles simpler."

Am I the only one that caught onto that?

[JesdaG]

Miles are used in the United Kingdom.

[cooper123456789dude]

@JesdaG

Eh, what do you know, I guess I am wrong.

[Jaaab]

Sorry but this is the fakest accent ever

[The3rdTurd]

I could watch Crystal all day.

[adre2k2]

I'd get at her right in the back of a taxi.

[The3rdTurd]

Crystal is SO damn hot.

[MarkCheetah2]

OMG THIS GIRL IS GORGEOUS!!!

[SirWilly77]

Crystal has made watching commercials fun again. (swoon)

[fishypants2]

Sooooo she's the one to blame for all the unnecessary changes Windows 7 went through . . . GET HER!!!

[mtown78]

THIS GIRL HAS THE BEST DSL EVER.

[hanleyfallsmn56245]

@mtown78 No, your mom does.

[Electricnuts11]

I have this task bar, it freezes every 15 seconds

[CheezyTatiie]

I'm a Pc and 9/11 was my idea.

Jokes

[bodraleadz]

Hi I'm Crystal and I'm fuckin' edible

[AAErikCO]

Anyone know the name of this actor?

[mralbeeb]

she doesnt need windows 7,she needs a slap rounds the chops,to make up for being too spoilt as a child

[Hornilope]

what a terrible commercial

[themorganator]

Hi, I'm Crystal and I realised Windows is shit. I'm really cheap and can't afford a mac, so I asked Microsoft to rip off Apple's ideas.

I'm a PC, and we like to copy Apple.

[ibpointless2]

Hi I cant afford a PC, with all the anti-virus, disk cleaning, constant forced updates, and a clunky interface I had to move to a Mac. I couldnt afford the cheap parts that kept breaking and where subpar, and the lack of descent software that forced me to buy more crap and put up with the headache that is called windows.

Im a Mac, because Microsoft forces me to be one.

[ricky0317]

ibpointless2 , you are full of crap. You've probably never even built your own system otherwise you wouldn't say such ignorant statements.

[Extreme4DKid]

Build your own computer....it saves a LOT of headache......if you know how to match up the TOP quality parts that is....not to mention, the parts for the most part are the SAME on a PC as on a Mac.

Good luck with MACaque....yes, it truly is a monkey's computer.

[pigprodoctions]

@themorganator so your saying a pc and mac are the same thing and a pc is better because it's the same but cheaper!

[themorganator]

err, no, and I'm not going to bother keeping the argument going. I moved to mac and I'll never buy another windows machine. Actually, you'll probably here that a lot from people... funny how you never hear it the other way around. At the end of the day, I'd rather pay for quality and reliability. It's a personal choice, not a requirement.

[Extreme4DKid]

I'd go just the opposite.....and run a PC....unless I ran Windows in partition with Mac. That is a possibility....but not a probability.

Just saying..

[29203024]

this is apple's idea actually

[shariotoflove]

hi im crystal and im an actor reading of a bullshit script, as im born annoying! fucktards had a hand in making this ad!

[Telegramsam87]

Damn shes fit, she looks Derrrty, in a good way.

[Meta221]

"i told them what to do and they did it"??? ha!

not including vista ( as it was just an unfinished version of windows 7 ) it took microsoft 9 years ( since the launch of windows xp ) to launch windows 7.

[HenchVids]

Hi, Im joseph fritzel...and no windows was my idea

[jwilson1980]

Hi, Im Crystal and Im full of shit

[netskyStyle]

@jwilson1980 hahahahhaa

[mdefuk]

i have met her before, she used to do the pub quiz in a bar in south london black sheep, there is somebody else doing the quiz now, i think she works in pr for a magazine she's not even an actress

[sbowesuk]

If she's not an actress but got that gig, I'd bet my bottom dollar that her rich mummy and daddy pulled in a few favours to get her on the advert. That's how the world seems to work these days.

[shariotoflove]

no she just was the one out of a shortlist! thats how the world seems to work these days. you end up with shits like her and Joe Mceldrew lol

[sbowesuk]

Shortlist? Could you elaborate? Also, how do you know this is the case with the girl above? Just curious.

[shariotoflove]

a shortlist like a small audition of existing or new actors fit for the role. this is common practice in advertising agencies. can i also ask how you know that the girl above is there courtesy of her 'rich parents'? just curious

[sbowesuk]

Getting a bit defensive now aren't we :)

Thanks for clarifying on what you meant by "shortlist" at least. One thing you've still failed to clarify though is how you know the way the girl got the job. Any luck on that yet?

Regarding the parents comment, I need only underline the fact that saying "I know" and saying "I bet" are two completely different things. Like they say, the devil is in the details ;)

[shariotoflove]

please reread, if you can that is, my post - did i say i know or i bet? NO!

thank you

now, i am explaining to you how advertising agencies work, which is a more probable answer, than your 'rich daddy' rubbish.

im still waiting for your much anticipated clarification as well, or are ad hominems your thing?

XD

[lilm2k8]

Hi I'm Crystal. Not long ago i had a thought right in the back of a taxi. Internet Should Be Slow And Aggrovating. So I Told Microsoft And Look At This.Dial-Up Broadband With This Annoying Connection Tone. Now I Can Spend Hours Connecting To The Internet. Its Just Miles Annoying. I Told Them What To Do And They Did It. I Could really get used to this. I'm A Pc And Dial-Up Broadband Was My Idea

Copyright Me lilm2k8 Lol

[MarcusTheSkiier89]

mac has done this for about ... ummmm ... i dunno... about 3 YEARS!!!! lol

[shariotoflove]

no macs r better, no window is better, no you gay macs r better....lol you sad fuck!

[JordanExe]

fake; there's no way a woman created something worthwhile

[antbon777]

is the woman talking different to the close of the woman who gets the idea? They look like different actors but everyone i know says they're the same person

[RobS1972]

No it's different woman. And a good exercise showing normal women are very often far more attractive than stylised models.

[shariotoflove]

but they do seem to be just as annoying if not more....

[sbowesuk]

Yep they sure look different, but if you look at their teeth, I'd say they are the same person.

I guess it's just the makeup, hair, lighting, special effects (sparkles), soft lens, photoshop, and not so smug face that make the difference so striking.

[karmaslogan]

does she work for mac?

[InhumanUnderworld]

WOW! I can't believe how much they just copied Mac! And it wasn't that long ago that Vista was released (whcih was shit)! Microsoft just love to take the piss out of the consumer!!!

[misterfishermann]

so microsoft ignored many angry rants of vista sucks! while listening to posh totty on improvements eh

[misterfishermann]

note for future:get totty to complain about microsoft shitty issues gets them cleared up quickly

[FireForFreezing]

Such a crap advert

[SimonB198207]

i couldn't give a stuff about what Windows 7 is (rebranded Mac technology? don't care!)

what matters in this advert is that Crystal is a very pretty lady... : )

[HowToRG]

I think Windows 7 is great! and so what if it is slightly similar to a mac. isn't that a good thing!!!

[eisteddfod37]

If microsoft did everything, that people asked them to it windows would either be brilliant, or whould not exist at all.

There are bigger problems with windows 7, and no idea why anyone would want to but their name to windows at all!

[akaleez88]

haha yeah i agree with the arrogant.

Does not look all that anyway.

[trigga1uk]

does anyone else find her really arrogant 'it was my idea', so she used a mac once and told MS to be more like that.

[andymerrett]

No, I find Microsoft arrogant. It's their ad! Just look at how they're shifting the blame from them to the user. Next time you're cursing Microsoft, remember "it was your idea" Windows 7. All of it. Nothing to do with MS' shoddy workmanship. Your idea. Should've got Linux!

[shariotoflove]

LMAO! i literally died with laughter with that comment!

[YTviewer118]

No bitch you just copied Mac's

[coreywebb07]

soo, kinda like on a mac when you move the mouse top left.. 5 years ago

[trigga1uk]

yea, as soon as i saw the advert the first thing that sprung to mind was a mac, and ive rarely even used one. I hope so didnt get paid a penny for this.

[wikichris]

Fit!

[Gloomshrub]

Hmmn... I've had a 'task bar' for year.
