Windows 7 - My Idea: Crystal's Taskbar

[ackbarfan13]

The star wars ones are better.

"I'm TK-421 and the death star was my idea".

Not sure who made them though.



[hymetex72]

Crystal is really hot!!!!

[SolidSquid1]

hasn't there been a task bar since, like, windows 3.1?

[xNewYorkNinja]

lol my name is Krystal. (y)

[Terrie3]

i see this task bar every day.

on my Mac

:D

[CountryKid1010]

Here's my idea for how Microsift should implement their next wave of stuff:

Release office for Ubuntu and Android.

Boom. Money.

[knickknack07]

@CountryKid1010 You mean WASTE money. You do realize it would take extra developing to make the software compatible, right? It is not just "OK...let's allow a Linux and Android version" And you don't spend millions of dollars porting something over to Linux, which has less than 1% market share. They would need EVERY single person who uses Linux to buy it at fill price to break even.

[PayNoAttentiontoCaes]

tvtropes

[RubyBeats]

I had a thought at my office ''WINDOWS 7 GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK''

[Y9Power]

Both crystals are hot.. the regular and re enactment versions. (no pun intended)

[Darkton80]

" RIGHT IN THE BACK OF A TAXI "

[agentbl]

I love the girl in this commercial. She's incredibly gorgeous. English and gorgeous.

[yupperoonies]

pause @ 0:05 XD

[CarryLarry]

It's funny because we're supposed to think the present day girl is so ugly and in her imagination she is beautiful! Get it, because she has to live up to unrealistic standards of beauty and is insecure about it? LOL!

[chocobiscuit5y468275]

Taskbar not really the mainn thing :/

[mattscoincceo]

Hey...didn't they have that feature in Vista?

[schweingut1]

expose is better !

[emilclaudell]

and i who thought it was apples idea :P

[cy012201]

I told them to add virus protection. Hmmm....

[Coi1221]

@cy012201 Since Vista there is Windows Defender, which is obviously very basic, but there's still Microsoft Security Essentials, it's the most used antivirus program out there and it's free. They cannot include that antivirus in their OS because there still has to be concurrention between other antivirus companies.

[michaelgj23]

FUCK YOU MICROSOFT! YOU CRASHED AND NOW I CAN'T LOCATE A WEEK'S WORTH OF WORK.

[andipoetic]

Brought here from tvtropes!

[ResidentEvilSpore]

@andipoetic cool, a fellow troper, was it the Hollywood homely page?

[andipoetic]

@ResidentEvilSpore Ahh, this was so long ago I don't even remember!

[halfsaponigirl]

THE DRAMATIZATION LADY HAS THE PRETTIEST EYES EVER!!!

[daTruChosen]

@halfsaponigirl Her name is Tine Stapelfeldt, and she's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen (she made a brief appearance as King Acretius' wife in the shitty Clash of the Titans remake). She's stunning.

[TyroneAllerdyce]

I love how in every single one of these comercials, the person in the flashback is always better looking than the actual person. I mean Crystal is pretty, but flashback Crystal is ridiculously hot.

[Lioyd1rving]

@TyroneAllerdyce So hot, in fact, she wraps around right back to fucking scary. (0:08)

[wildste]

@TyroneAllerdyce Which is the gag. it is making fun of the fact that there is no such thing as ugly on tv.

[TheDrunkenwhale]

@TyroneAllerdyce I dunno, I like regular Crystal better.

[hbah427]

@TyroneAllerdyce TVTropes.

[TyroneAllerdyce]

@hbah427 belive it or not I'm on there right now in another tab.

[cyberslick18]

@TyroneAllerdyce That's the fucking point retard.

[Theriot6592]

Whenever these commercials come on tv, I always talk back to it.

"Hi, I'm Crystal."

"Hi, Crystal"

[Netbug009]

oh look. a taskbar. no other operating system has a dock- i mean task bar.

(And this is coming from a kid who owns both a PC and a Mac and understands both have their purposes.)

[ThreeLeafIvy]

RIGHT IN THE BACK OF A TAXI

[blkwhtrbbtX]

I got a mac after watching Microsoft's ads.

[MrSkinnyBill]

i have an idea for them...

make the system run better on slow computers.

[cakelover33]

@MrSkinnyBill linux. set up a simple duel boot by using wubi and then get wine for any ms programs u need. i usually use windows but i also use linux

[thecookiemonster59]

That taskbar isnt simple... its more complex than xp taskbar, you jackasses.....

[cakelover33]

@thecookiemonster59 has more features

[ppaaccoojrf]

@cakelover33 weird definition of 'simpler' you got there..

[el3ctrizedTube]

Yeah Yeah blabla...if you want something more simple, girl, use a mac XD

I'm sorry, but i had to say it.

[DanielToshIsABoss]

my god she is beautiful, look at those eyes!!!!!

[tatatamaya54000]

You get paid for doing this shit?

[maw88ify]

Windows 7 was really Linux, and BSD idea, and Mac OS also took ideas for Linux, and BSD.

[Blivia]

@maw88ify

That's the cost of making Open Source code, isn't it? If you make something open source, everyone has access to it, to do with it whatever they like. The creator Gives his work to Everyone, and takes no credit for what they've done with it. That's what you're getting into as an open-source programmer. *Nod*

[gerrylazlo]

MS couldn't advertise free money, but this girl does wonders for me.

[Track19Films]

I'm a Pc and Ubuntu 10.10 was my idea. And I didn't have to ask for new features, I could make them my self.

[Relentlos]

Well the new task bar IS cool but why must screen real-estate be so scarce? Every window has to be large with a huge waste of space. Linux and OS X still do better there.

[norcalbirdz]

I think Crystal and Charline need to meet and makek an adult video together.

[weneedhelp]

0:02 Not long ago, I had a thought... but it went away, sorry.

[bullshotter]

Get use to riding in the back of a cab!? great.

I would buy a mac on the back of these adverts.

[trekfan92]

I love British girls. They are so cute.

[MarkCheetah2]

This girl is so cute. I wish they'd start airing THIS commercial again, instead of the new one with that dweeb & his dorm room!

[K2ACP]

Gdhdgyer

[K2ACP]

In soviet Russia, You are Windows 7 Idea! LOL you win free cookie! sadly, Mac OS had this sort of revelation around 2000 when they created the dock

[TheLostProphecies]

but I find Mac OSX Taskbar really more easier.

[liphow]

Also she would get it,right in the bum'ole

[liphow]

She is actually beautiful <3

[keez2010]

I need the ROOGBY FREAK OVA ERE advert.

[DevinTClark]

HOW ARE YOU DOING ON WINDOWS 8? HMM? HMM? IF YOU HAVE TIME TO MAKE SILLY USELESS COMMERCIALS ABOUT IDEAS (WHICH NOBODY EVER NEEDS) THEN YOU HAVE TIME TO START WINDOWS 8, A OS WHICH IS JUST WINDOWS 7 AFTER LEVELING UP.

[sbowesuk]

Looks like a stuck-up bitch.

[ZachTLehner]

I bet 12 million other people thought to themselves "Hmm Windows 7 should be simplier" before she did

[shantyfilms]

what is the background music track in all these ads?

[emilitopastor]

Windows 7 Was Chuck Norris' Idea

[signalsyyz]

damn > she is one hot woman!

[The3rdTurd]

Microsoft should just put "Crystal" on all the commercials from now on.

[Jimbobthon]

No, Windows 7 was NOT your idea. Stop taking credit.

[salebowwow]

She is so hot.

[djdragoneyes]

she is super hot

[NoShit12]

My idea in Windows 7 was to improve memory caching, i'm so genuis.

[Trafficker85]

I soooo would! XD

[okevino]

yes Crystal it was your idea. and i love youR idea <3

[applesauceman]

they found the single uk girl without f'd up teeth. that was my idea.

[vettemike]

Crystal can say whatever she wants....that accent....wow

[avi8r1]

Oh yeah it was totally your idea to include features that real operating systems have had for years

[Melissa9850]

windows 7 was part of my idea...

[antzzy1]

Anyone know any info on this girl?

[brusselsclaire]

Erm, guys.  She does speak English: British English (a version of it called Estuary English, if anyone cares that much). I will refrain from further geeky or pro British comments...

[turingtape]

@brusselsclaire: Have you read Stilgoe's book?

[TheBestTroller]

This bitch needs to learn to speak english

[blacbraun]

@TheBestTroller English as in..Hillbilly??

[paksta]

About 10 years ago I invented a task bar. I did that, because it was f*cking obvious. Apparently Microsoft heard about it, and used it in their new Operating System. I'm Steve Jobs and Windows 7 was MY f*cking idea.

[zappadead13]

the girl inthe fantasy is perfect

[xRAMxDOD]

she does not sound british

[SimonB198207]

@xRAMxDOD yeah she does

[genericmeatunit]

I also had an idea about Crystal in the back of a taxi, but Microsoft haven't implemented it yet.... bastards.

[Shelbinheimer]

@genericmeatunit

True That Bro fuck microsoft

[tigerintermusic]

@genericmeatunit hahahahahahaha

[Hawkeye16000]

@genericmeatunit WIN COMMENT IS FUCKING WIN.

[stefanm96]

@genericmeatunit Actually they did, just not from you ;)

[kerndtsr]

what an absolute doll!

[khenessy1]

the actress in the reenactment is soooooooo fuckin beautiful. those eyes!!!

[nakcurb]

Crystal,you're so gorgeous.

[thecorptube1]

snotty posh bitch

[thecorptube1]

@thecorptube1 come on.you were thinking the same.admit it

[lemoncherrii]

my name's Crystal

[dedricthere]

The french girl is way hotter.

[agentbl]

Crystal is freakin' gorgeous. She looks like Charlotte from Sex and the City. She is so dreamy.

[krizgemini]

Crystal is cute. She looks a lot like Charline. I think i thought they were the same person!

[2Pac515]

I can already do this with Windows XP.

Dumb bitch.

[MGOplayer911]

ugh bring the french girl back

[melovetorun]

me want to spread her pussy legs and eat her out!

[BeauJames59]

I love how MS continually loves to brag about existing Mac technology.

[TheBossofallbosses10]

@BeauJames59

I love how mac users have to get microsoft office cuz apple cant make anything to beat microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. and they have to get torrents to play games like cod mw2 cuz the games are games for WINDOWS live. mac lol

[BeauJames59]

@TheBossofallbosses10 DUDE! You ARE the "Boss of all bosses" because my life revolves around cod mw2, so you have totally burned me. There is nothing I can do now but commit suicide. But I will do so crying out your name since you have burned me so completely. TOTAL PWNage!

[TruthAxe]

The re-enactment model is hot. You cannot deny this truth. That said, Crystal has her own beauty.

Microsoft ad execs were smart to get Brits and Frenchwomen for ads in this campaign.

Many suggest that feminism or pigism has ruined American females.

[atrumdecretum]

@TruthAxe pigism? that's a new term for me, but I the bigger picture is the political correctness movement. It's a disease infecting All of western society in my opinion

[TruthAxe]

@atrumdecretum Pigism. Living by overeating because of the trend in society acceptance of fatties.

[atrumdecretum]

@TruthAxe Also, 'pigism' is not in our dictionary.

[atrumdecretum]

@atrumdecretum no one wants to be overweight, not even an American. People get fat: they get depressed, and some even kill themselves. Just because political correctness tells us to be nice about it, our thoughts remain the same. Or do you mean they hang fat people where you come from?

[kaybabe254]

I still don't understand why they pick models to do the reenactments. I actually thought the guy from the first commercial was the ripped man in the shower, but now I'm kinda double guessing myself because that definitely isn't Crystal in the reenactment. Why the hell did they decide to do that?

[skampe]

@kaybabe254 When I first saw it I thought it was a joke about personal perception, since it was her flashback it was how she views herself. I could be wrong but it's a funny idea.

[kaybabe254]

@skampe lol I got the personal perception thing, but why couldn't they use HER, instead of a "prettier" person? I mean I'm not arguing with you, I just don't get why they couldn't have made her up instead of hiring a "better looking" model.

[mysticx0]

@kaybabe254 because the light hearted funny part of the commercial is the person reliving the moment through flashback when she came up with "the idea to create windows 7". the fact that it is a different acress is the funny part because we are seeing crystal's vision in her head and i guess thats how the character sees herself at that moment: a beautiful, smart, problem solving citizen.

she is realy hot though without the flashback.

[kaybabe254]

@mysticx0 Yeah I get all that, but I think she's beautiful before the flashback, too, so I think they should've just made her even more beautiful instead of hiring someone else. :P

[mysticx0]

@kaybabe254 well then that destroys the joke. she doesnt see herself as herself just really done up...her character sees herself as that girl in the flashback scene with a sparkle in her eye. the fact that is ISNT her is the joke. so just dressing her up real nice for a flashback scene wouldnt be funny or really very memorable.

[kaybabe254]

Yeah I get the joke. I still think it's stupid. Let's just leave it at that.

[mysticx0]

@kaybabe254 no problem :) we both think shes hot and thats a good place to leave it! cya!

[MrDarcyzPP]

@mysticx0 I guess they'll be offering interpretive classes on this at Uni.

[ColeTrains96Z28]

Charline is a hottie but Crystal is cute to.

[jonnyquest23]

Crystal Looks better than the model...

[crapi4got]

i like charline better ;]

[EugB23]

You're so lovely, will you marry me?

[smokinbeemers]

the reenactment model is stunningly beautiful with mesmerizing eyes.. does anyone know who she is?

[metalmikex]

@smokinbeemers

I believe that's Amanada Peet...... If not her twin......

[LordSpanky]

@metalmikex

not her .. but i see what you mean ..

[CrazySean]

@metalmikex A hybrid of Amanda Peet and Mary-Kate Olsen is what I was thinking.

[artifactingreality]

It's fucking Windows 7, get Steve Ballmer in here... you said Windows 7 would be faster, with better access to the internet.

Ballmer: it is faster, over 3000 *bang*

[LaurenceM849]

@artifactingreality  lol south park

[MikeAM78]

Brunette? English? Epic win. Who is this babe? I must know. I always stop what I'm doing to watch the TV when I hear her. :)

[sh00tgun]

hello can any1 tell me the name of the song they use 4 this advert????? plzzzzzzzzzz

and where i can get the green logo they use???????

iv made a funny advert myself and need it asap

thanks 4 ur time ppl

[pterob]

Fittest TV advert girl of the year.... except the other Windows 7 "disaster averted" girl. Both British, both fit.

[crazyfooInc]

Anyone think of Krystal from Starfox? Ya know, with her Adventures accent?

[Jacksprat07]

I concur. I would do nasty things to her, as well.

[weathered79]

anyone know who crystals last name is

[bulls7123]

Hot British chick.

[TheBeatIez]

Does anyone know who that model is in the reenactment? I think I recognize her. Both are hot though. XD

[wbrycem]

I'm a Mac, and Windows 7 was my idea.

[Gambino199]

i want to marry her, she is drop dead gorgeous! the perfect woman imho, the reenactment girl was not needed because crystal is a gift from god, i think im in love!

[tomcokis]

Wow, the taskbar sure looks like some other operating systems feature.

[suffer2ascend]

does anyone know the name of the reenactment girl in this commercial. damn, she is so beautiful. don't get me wrong though, Crystal is really cute too.

[Idatedreenactment]

I know the name of the reenactment girl.

It's Frieda Shor, Marchuska PR and Marketing hottie! She's 30 and hails from Brooklyn, NY, where she was an English teacher. She was raised very Orthodox Jewish and is very spiritual. She's at least 5' 10" and even more stunning in person.

I can't believe it, I went out with this girl five years ago (before she was famous) and we went to see Batman Begins!

I dated her! Don't you wish you were me?

BTW, I got her permission to post her name.

[daTruChosen]

@Idatedreenactment Lucky you ... she's a dead ringer for Tine Stapelfeldt; the Scandinavian model, and even favors Amanda Peet a little.

[electronsm]

That task bar was Linux idea!

Crystal, I have a better idea....marry me!

[VGsuperstar]

she's got an australian accent...

[signalsyyz]

she`s soo hot! ~~~ nice!

[lucasbastos10]

I'd SO do her...

[UnIuckyChucky]

@lucasbastos10 same on 0:05-0:09

[lucasbastos10]

@UnIuckyChucky indeed, those fucking green eyes, haha

[fan201able]

Crystal is beautiful, who cares if you think she's snooty and spoiled, I'd spoil her plenty.

Microsoft, I have an idea for you, forget using anyone else for this ad campaign, and just make Crystal your spokeswoman here on out. I (and several folks on here) would watch your commercials umpteen times.

[78rancherogt]

holy shit guys that task bar looks just like mine on my mac, but wait mine came 5 or so years ago. is bill gates stealing steve jobs ideals again, it should say im a pc and windows 7 was apple's idea

[AvotheHoly]

Who's the model?!?

[CJTheFreshy]

She's soooo hot!!

[CJTheFreshy]

She's so hot!

[youngfinnias]

give a thumbs up if you think the reenactment girl is sexy as FUCK!!!

[panzerkpf1]

What does she say at 0:25?

[RichardStevensXIV]

@panzerkpf1 "Onwards driver!" I only know that b/c I CC'd that on my TV already, ha.

[VampireWannabee707]

shes pretty but its such a lame comercial. who aproves these things?

[STRlCKEN]

Wow, she looks a lot like the French Windows 7 lady, Charline or something

[lyriz465]

"Using a PC should be simpler."

Wow.....a true visionary!

[RXRRipped]

Smoking hot !!

[MrJoepeiper]

Crystal is HOT too!!!!!!!!!!

[chud25]

classic brunette beauty with a killer accent?!?! this commercial gives me a raging hard-on. SPROOOOIIIIINNNG!

[JesdaG]

Crystal is so cute. I prefer her to reenactment girl.

[LordSpanky]

@JesdaG i think a lot of people do ..

[wtf8269]

You could ALWAYS see everything open on the task bar. What a dumb cunt.

[RunFromTheZombies]

"So I told Microsoft, and they ripped of the Mac OS dock"

[DieLois246]

"So I told Apple, and they ripped off the Ubuntu GUI"

[RunFromTheZombies]

@DieLois246 No...Ubuntu definitely stole Apple's ideas...
