  • This is hilarious. xD

  • Wow... I can't even look at the actual product! :D

  • EPIC!

  • Hahahaha! It definitely looks like a M$oft product now!

  • Apple Butthurt

  • Oh my, I remember watching this back when it just came out on a podcast on itunes.

  • So funny!

  • editing with a pc is better if you put the right cpu and grpahics card and what not plus it would cost less

  • Even though I really hate Apple for reasons I'm too lazy to mention, their packaging for products looks nice. I mean, at least for their small electronic devices. The iphone packaging however is a little disappointing. I don't really like the picture of the phone covering the whole front of the box. It's better if it's plain and simple, with a nice, sleek and professional colour. Like the packaging of the Galaxy S2.

  • it's funny 'cause it would be true

  • I'm gonna go watch Pee Wee's Big Adventure now.

  • NOBODY is switching to apple, buying an ipod or iphone does not mean switching to apple! Ipad users are another issue.....The only valid argument to use an apple PC is being a graphic designer.

  • @xxmetioqurexx No u

  • apple is gay

  • @xxmetioqurexx hahahaha, you might want to re think that. For a company that is making over 13 billion a year. And has revolutionized how everyone sees computers, music, phones and so on. They are destroying the market. so you might want to re think that.

  • Comment removed

  • I-Pod professional???? wtf??

  • I actually liked Microsoft's design better - except for the ads coverin the info in the front.

  • i don't know i only use microsoft products but im like the clean simple look of the box, the redesign looks really cluttered and messy

  • @MatthewTVu Thats the whole point, because all of microsoft products look like that

  • Bill Gates, Steve Jobs... which one is still alive? Hmmm???? :)

  • @wjw3 Because Steve Jobs totally decided to get a completely untreatable cancer and die at a young age...

  • @wjw3 And that proves what exactly?

    

  • @wjw3 What does that have to do with anything? he had cancer you douche. Also who is still making more money? hmmmmm? Apple....Steve jobs

  • people who hate on apple are just jealous because they can't afford it..

  • @matthewzackary haha yeah, but even if they can't afford it. They should at least save up the money. Apple products never break, and if they do they fix them for free. Microsoft products break all the time and they don't fix them,

  • there are 2012 likes, it's the end of the worl, so many signs!!!!!

  • Who dares say complexity will always be better than simplicity.

  • It's funny but unnervingly plausible.

  • lmao this is how my teachers would tell us to design things hahahhahah no joke holy shit. same words and everything

  • Hahaha I have all Microsoft computers in my house but I wish they were macs :/ I looooove the iPod packages they are clean and plain black and white. In my opinion they are all works of art haha but I don't mind Microsoft honestly a computer is a computer no matter how it is packaged. But ya pretty much the reason apple users don't need all those fancy words I'd cuz we trust apple.

    Sent from my iPod :)

  • this looks like packaging of cheapskate products full of words and stuff to make it 'sound' and 'look' good.

  • Great use of music!

  • epic facepalm

  • lets face it, all those people here who are arguing in favour of Microsoft are just saw losers. who gives a shit where the product is made, if it wasn't for things like sweatshops and cheap factories in china/India etc. those countries would be worse off, because they'd be no work at all. something is better than nothing.

    also, another point made is how "apple users don't care about the stats and don't need to know how it works before they purchase it"

    all you need to know about apple phones,

  • And thats why Apple is so successful

  • This song is on peewee's big adventure..lol

  • It really stands out!

  • This music is great! It should also stand on the package that "It also blends"

  • Apple takes no arguments, it sells itself

  • lol. Being in sales at a retail store.......and having to deal with Microsoft's (and others) packaging.......I can attest that most of Microsoft's packaging actually looks like that, lol.

  • HAHA this is a real fuck you to Microsoft! Great i love it!

    Typical Microshit thing to do to hide your product behind full of bullshit...

    Great video!

  • the music in the beginning is from Planet 51!!

  • haha this is so true

  • The design of the ipod packaging by apple seems clean and smooth while this one looks all messy and seems like its for old people

  • Wow! I thought this was really funny and a well thought out parody piece. But you seem to have really struck a nerve with this thing! As for the age old debate? I'll weigh in with anybody can use any device from any company they wish. If it makes you happy, that's the one you should use. And the video is a riot! Nice job!

  • Semplicemente é così! Apple the angel Microsoft the devil!!!! Bello!

  • ONE of the main reasons why Windows product boxes look like that is because PC users have the SENSE to buy a Windows product for its specs, features, and performance. Also, there are way more windows products out there than Apple. If all the Microsoft packaging looked similar, people would get confused. PC users actually pay attention to the hardware info unlike SOME Mac users who are like: "I'm comfortable blowing all my money on a Mac since it MUST be perfect because Apple made it."

  • @MyWafflefries kinda bias, but what you say makes perfect sense.

  • @MyWafflefries Apple users spend money on there products because it is a better product. they get what they paid for. Apple products never! break. Why do you think EVERYONE is switching to apple.

  • @lngbrd94  *facepalm*

  • @lngbrd94 They don't my buddies imac just died a few days ago, another friends imac had hard drive issues and the case came apart and my ipod touch constantly crashes. You are an idiot if you think they never break.

  • @lngbrd94 Apple products never break? Oh please. The only product that wouldn't break would be from Nokia.

  • the direction zune went kind of proves this wrong, but whatever... still funny

  • Thumbs up if you think Apple should make a gaming console.

  • @Flapit01 They did. Didn't go very well. 

  • @MrFigmentofi Well they made the iPod touch which is great for gaming. Especially online FPS. And what did they make?

  • @Flapit01 It was called the Apple Pippin. It was a disaster. Which explains why Apple has been hesitant to make a console.

  • @Miqimus "Apple is just gay. PC <3" is definitely a strong argument that is going to sway the minds of the millions of people that will see your comment.

  • @EurodanceToronto

    By millions of people I think you mean the 5 people that actually bought Macs.

  • @EurodanceToronto thanks for not letting us struggle to find Miqimus' comment lol?

  • @EurodanceToronto I'm sure he completely meant for his comment to be seen by millions. :-/...

  • @EurodanceToronto Apple is gay? All the way to the bank, baby! $46B revenues, $13B profits last quarter.

  • Hahahahahaahahahaha xD

    +999999

  • It just works.

  • Apple is just simple and easy to use.

  • That's why Apple can kick Microsoft ass anytime. How I wish Xbox was from Apple and it remains as successful

  • okay, don't mock microsoft, 'cause you pay for what you buy, unlike in apple, where you pay a shitload of money for a crappy product, that was copied of linux. and that Chinese kids built for a dollar a day

  • I watched this video embedded into a forum page but thought I'd check out the actual Youtube page figuring I'd see some humorous comments about said video. Instead I see a bunch of idiots arguing about who makes better cellphones and how Apples products are overpriced. What do either of those things have to do with the video you're supposed to be commenting on? GG youtube... GG....

  • This is revolting. As a graphic designer I remember trying to steer clients away from muddled concepts into cleaner presentations - back in the '80s! Even in the early 2000s when I was designing clean web pages, people were saying: "there's not much design there"! The sad truth is that most good design is simply wasted on most people. I never actually killed a client, nor did I ever harm an ignorant critic, but I did leave the business before something newsworthy happened:)

  • @G58 I hear ya... Same thing happened to me and I also left ;P

  • @hachre It's funny isn't it? You never read the headline: GRAPHIC DESIGNER KILLS CLIENT - SAYS "HE DESERVED IT"! Yet with clients being such ungrateful fucking philistines, the corporate boardrooms of the world should be littered with their corpses! Must be something about our ability to control our urges.

  • @G58 The truth is, american design is known throughout Europe as being overdetailed, overcolored and gory. You can see this in ALL the biggest IT companies from America. Apple has strangely been following the trends outside the US, and of course been leading them as well, which is minimalism and functionalism. Its strange that San Fransisco-companies lean much more towards european ways of things.

  • Wasnt Microsoft itself who made this video? Why dont they learn from it?

  • @leandrodafontoura proof?

  • @DevourTheDarkness This is pretty much common knowlodge, Im just curious why they did this.

  • @whistler222 btw have you used ics yet?

  • nice editing.

  • anyone realize nabster was part of the part endorsers? xD

  • Well, the fact is the people who want to be cool and know nothing about technology (or know nothing at all) always go for Apple because it appeals perfectly to them. And for this reason Apple can put a huge premium on their devices. You cannot deny how overpriced Apple products are. Competing devices are almost always more powerful. Microsoft on the other hand provides all that box information which a more intelligent person would most likely find helpful, however the design is not appealing.

  • @DevourTheDarkness not sure how the iphone is 'overpriced'?

    the apps/operating environment is awesome.. compared to a battery draining android, or a joke aka windows phone.

    not all Apple products are overpriced.. some are. some are not.

  • @whistler222 your not sure how the iphone is overpriced? explain how it costs more than android phones that have faster processors, double the ram, 4.6 inch screens (iphone is 3.5), higher resolution ala 720p, and even 4G. I could go on. The app environment is rubbish, it has a lot of apps but the problem is apple does not allow developers to make apps that do certain things. you would not believe how many are rejected. plus, later on apple steals these rejected app's inventions

  • @DevourTheDarkness I guess I disagree. I don't want a 4.6inch screen, it's too big and thus the battery drains in no time. If i want any bigger I have tablets.

    it's a constant competition, I love it. Competition will only make apple buck up with better products. I don't think the iphone is overpriced, it's priced about the same as comparable Android / Winjokes.

    btw have you held a Samsung vs an Iphone? the polish and finish is not even close..

  • @whistler222 the battery actually doesnt sorry, im guessing you have never had anything other than an iphone? yeh, its priced the same, but you don't get the same specs. oh i see why you dont want a bigger screen, its because you cant reach your thumb over it right (quote from an apple employee some time ago). yeah, well, u got tiny hands mate. i agree that samsung usually drop the ball on build quality, but the galaxy nexus is one heck of a device and what about htc products? like the sensation

  • @DevourTheDarkness No. i don't want a bigger screen b/c it drains the battery.

    Even Android user friends who all LOVE Android complain about the battery.

    I don't care about the reaching over to the right.

    HTC makes great products. MUCH better than the samsung. Agreed.

  • @whistler222 show me statistics on this battery drain for larger screens thing. it makes sense when your talking higher res, but otherwise, hardly. lets not forget android phones nowadays have batteries with higher capacities than the iphone. the iphone 4 has a capacity of 1420mAH and i dont think they changed it with the 4s. please, stop denying the 4s battery issues. i got a 4s and returned it because of them. got a sensation instead and battery life is so much better

  • @whistler222 now, saying something is a joke basically tells me you know absolutely nothing about it. so poor argument mate.

    android battery drain? WHAT A LAUGH~ Have you not seen and heard the countless complaints about the 4gs' battery life? At the worst, a popular android smartphone's battery is equal to that of an iphone. But the funny thing is, android runs all kinds of things such as widgets that are bound to eat up more battery, in comparison to apple's basic "a screen with icons"

  • @DevourTheDarkness I must know nothing about it, especially since multiple AT&T reps, and even MSFT employees tell me that the winphone doesn't sell b/c it's crap and only MSFT employees really buys them.

    can it be good one day? sure. it can. but it's not even close to the iphone now.

  • @whistler222 ofc u dont counter all the reasons i told u the iphone is overpriced. wow i totally agree with you. hey, im not gonna buy a product because a salesman trying to sell me an iphone told me it was 'crap'

  • @DevourTheDarkness Learn to read - MSFT EMPLOYEES (as they are friends who like me, live in Seattle). AT&T rep not sales person. I wasn't buying a phone, I was in to check on a corporate plan..

  • @whistler222 proof?

    i didnt think so.

  • @DevourTheDarkness Proof of what? 

  • @whistler222 microsoft employees shunning their products?

  • @DevourTheDarkness Do you think any msft employee who still want their job will PUBLISH a blog about it?

    Again we live in Seattle. u can throw a rock and hit 5 MSFT employees.

  • @whistler222 why would they still want their job if they dont care for the products they're selling?

  • @DevourTheDarkness really? is this a real question?

    1. they don't all work for the phone group? u know msft does more than phones right?

    2. msft has great benefits? hahah

  • @whistler222 so now your telling salesman who dont even work in the phones industry have an opinion that matters more than anyone else's?

  • @DevourTheDarkness Either you don't know how to read, or you choose not to read.. either way, it's hopeless having this conversation with you.

  • @whistler222 great comeback douchebag. sorry what? i thought we just switched to insulting each other because we couldnt think of anything more to say that could defend the products we worship.

    oh wait, that was just you

  • @DevourTheDarkness dude. read what i wrote. it's not 'salesman who don't work int he phone industry'.

    it's MSFT employees.. who PROBABLY knows someone who works in the winphone division.. sharing some stuff about the phone. could they be full of BS? maybe.

    could it be true? maybe.

    Your response of "now you're tellin salesman who don't even work...." just makes no sense..

  • @whistler222 i will spell it out for you then. HOW. CAN. AN. EMPLOYEE. SPECIALISING. IN. AN. UNRELATED. IT. FIELD. HAVE. AN. ACCURATE. JUDGEMENT. ON. THIS. ONE?

  • @DevourTheDarkness Intercompany communication? do you know nothing about your work's other department? nothing at all?

    I don't know.. I'm not going to audit what they say..nor do i really care frankly

  • @whistler222 and if its all about user experience, shouldnt u 'experience' it urself instead of being influenced by what other people have said?

  • @whistler222 Btw, i just love how your avoiding bringing up ics and the fact that it changes everything about android for the better. ill take it you havent used it.

    this conversation has therefore ended due to lack of 'experience' sorry.

  • @DevourTheDarkness better this ends b/c we all have to work.

    but yah. ICS isn't a 'savior'. I have not used it, but I'm sure something better will come out in another year. can't tell me this is the end all of operating systems.

    but i will agree on one thing with you.. this conversation should be ended.

  • @whistler222 so mate thanks for proving my point about apple devices being popular amongst the people who basically know nothing about technology, or anything at all

  • @DevourTheDarkness hahahah you are so ignorant, i'll just ignore you for now.

    not knowing about technology to you = not knowing anything at all?

    hahahahaha. time to grow up. you are hopeless. have a good day.

  • @whistler222 didnt you ever learn in school the different between and equals sign and 'or' maybe you have been focusing on growing up so much you missed some education

  • @DevourTheDarkness hahahah You = Fail.

    Since you understand equal signs pretty well, hope you understood that one..

  • @whistler222 so now your just straight up insulting me because ive exposed ur membership to the apple cult and theres nothing you can do to defend yourself?

  • @DevourTheDarkness nono.. i'm not a member of the apple fan cult. I have an android phone, a BB and an iphone.

    I was only putting it in a language a 10 year old would understand for you.. ;)

  • @whistler222 i bet you have a nexus one or something crappy which is why you think the iphone is better

  • @DevourTheDarkness Or.. maybe........ the iphone ... IS better..

    Wow.. what a concept.

    ;)

  • @whistler222 better than a nexus one? yep. better than most high end android phones released last year? nope

  • @DevourTheDarkness Apparently a few people disagrees.. the iphone seems to sell pretty well. ah well, they must all 'know nothing at all!'

    :)

  • @whistler222 and now your telling me sales figures = a quality product?

  • @DevourTheDarkness Well price is not a differentiating factor, Carrier isn't much of a differentiating factor now, so you tell me why the iphone still sells if it sucks ass as a product?

  • @whistler222 apple knows what appeals to customers who dont care about specs and what they get 'under the hood'?

  • @DevourTheDarkness see post below. 'quality product' is the overall product experience.

  • @DevourTheDarkness Oh and "quality product" - the main thing is user experience.

    give me a phone that's a million times more powerful but takes 10 mins to power on.. you can argue it's 'better', many would not buy it.

    so quality is more than just Ram, or Screen size, or Processor speed. that's what apple haters fail to understand..

  • @whistler222 android has been lacking in the software department yes. until now though, i repeat, HAVE. YOU. TRIED. ICE. CREAM. SANDWICH?

  • @whistler222

    Is windows phone a joke??

    Its more innovative than any other phone, outperforms iOS and android by far when it comes to performance per hardware.

    Seriously iphone is made in china and apple have the highest profits.

  • @Plasticwin Everything from Windows Phone before Manga was trash, Manga is the only thing that might (and I think will) be successful. But it has to prove itself first.

    No, just no.

    And the iPhone is not made in China because of cheap products (it's only $64 cheaper than if they made it in the US). They produce it there because it's easier to summon thousands of workers in China than in any western country ;)

  • @OneThugOneNation

    I can guarantee you, whatever apple employees say that there are and will always be

    hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people who want a job at all in the US.

    The price of the retail product does not match China made.

  • @whistler222 come on, you pay 500€ for acrappy product, built by chinese kids that make 1€ a day

    how's that not overpriced

    and apple computers are just crappy computers with a system that was copied from linux, and the guys who copied it, did a very shitty job at hiding the evidence

    apple is for douchebag hipsters who think that because they pay for overpriced shit, it's no longer shit

  • @Thewite1 If that's your logic then how is any other things you buy not overpriced? No computers are crappy. It's more about personal needs.

  • @Thewite1 Lol linux? are you high or something? Darwin is what Linux always wanted to be, but still cant, even now, the most popular desktop enviroments that run on top of GNU/Linux are trying to copy OSX/Darwin aesthetics.

    They dont need to hide any evidence, OSX is based on NeXT wich was based on Unix, and you may or may not know, but Linux is a wannabe-Unix (better known ad *nix).

  • @whistler222 May I ask why you think WP7 is a joke? I really want to know.

  • Linux.

  • The original video was in wmv so all the drones still using WMP can watch the video, after they cntrl-alt-del about 20 times, and then took a 4-pndr to their beige tower.

    

  • Anyone think it's ironic that the original video is a WMV?

  • A testimate to why Apple is far superior to Microsoft, in almost every way.

  • @jjphel Because they omit information like system requirements, version of the product, etc? The apple one is just as shit as the MS one, just in the opposite direction.

  • @keiyakins .............ugh. Apple is a company that everyone somehow follows. fans follow for the nest product, regular consumers do as well, apple haters follow to see the new apple product they can ignorantly hate on etc. etc and because things like iPod iPhone and iPad are so fucking popular and are used all the time people don't need all that info. They're products are out of the box "use right away" products. Apple has better taste better style, better leadership etc...not to say MS is bad

  • @jjphel what about the nightmare that is itunes

  • @DevourTheDarkness ..............oh what do you prefer the Zune marketplace......fucking idiot

  • @jjphel zune is not the same as wp7. yes, the zune was a disaster for microsoft and had something like 5 apps to download. but things have changed

  • Genius

    

  • I totally agree with this video. I mean seriously.... why worry about what features the product has, its performance, or whether or not it will work with what you already have? That is so passé. I like to buy my products based on the appearance of the box. My nerd friend says that's why I have a phone that drops calls if I hold it in my hand, but he is just jealous of my style.

  • Hi, What program do you use for this type of movie/animation?

  • i really dislike apple products, but this is such a clever vid. bravo

  • I would rather have that than an Apple package. Simplicity sucks. I hate Apple.

  • Has anyone seen Zune packaging? It's pretty damn sexy

  • @parkerreno005 Because they didn't copy Apple at all or anything...

  • Ugh... it fucking hurts...

  • spot on.

  • So True!

  • I really hope that people here are joking... Of course you want to know every detail of a product before you buy it. This video proves one thing - Apple fans is all about the brand, not the product.

  • As a graphic designer this is one of the real reasons Apple products always appeal to me. But to be honest, it's not about the price, label or how "trendy" it is. Mac-related products are just so much more superior. Microsoft products are crappy. The only good thing about them is Word.

  • I love how people who can't afford an Apple product say Apple sucks.

  • @LordZelgius

    You are so wrong. In my workplace when offered Macs vs PCs (we can choose OSes in our PCs too), almost ALL of us chose a PC with FreeBSD. Reason: we want our work done. And yes, we do have enough money to buy 150 apple macs - but no one wanted them.

    I chose a PC and have been using Fedora on it. I have been using fedora for 13 years - yet I can bet that I can do everything a mac user can on it +++++ a TON more.

  • @liveevery As a graphic designer, macs are far more superior. Perhaps it's the job you have? I dunno, macs are certainly easier to navigate too. And I've never had virus problems with them like Microsofts.

  • @quidwitch The reason why u don't have virus problems with Macs is because there is no "market" in creating viruses for it... Noone uses it!

  • @quidwitch See, I'm in the same field as you but I find Windows PCs to be way more efficient and easy to use (especially Windows 7). I guess it's just all down to personal preferences anyway.

  • @quidwitch me too...i never had virus problems...but im usin windows

  • @liveevery So, you were given the choice between Unix... and Unix.

    Do I get this right?

  • @LordZelgius Or maybe they just really prefer PCs

  • @LordZelgius hmmm... even though pc's are cheaper

  • @LordZelgius My thoughts exactly sir!

  • microsoft knows shit about art, that's why Apple is winning: they have the image

    Personally, I hate Apple.

  • Its funny because its True. LOL I cant stop laughing :D

  • Love the ending at 2:37

  • wow this is so accurate its creepy

  • I'd hate to see how they would redesign the actual product.

  • speaking of snipes - that's what Apple do best - oh yeah, Apple customers can grow really big side burns too, lol.

  • @MoveOnDotOrgg And Apple Stores are actually very welcoming and clean, might I add... I was at one this past monday and as always, it was a pleasant experience to shop there (although expensive i might say, $50 for a hardshell MBP case!). I don't mind the cost though, because i have the stability, security, usefullness, compatibility, and beauty of a $2,000 Windows Computer underneath my fingers right now.

  • iPod Upgrade?

  • sooo true

  • microsoft is just bitter that macs are so much better....don't be hatin'
