  • microsoft should be aware that they need a gmail account to post this anti-gmail ad

  • they are fighting on google's grounds. Google controls youtube. These dislikes will rise, and the likes won't get passed 50 percent. If Google wasn't busy with better things, they might as well wipe microsoft off the face of the internet.

  • Here in Russia direct anti-advertising is illegal.

    I am glad it is.

  • Cmmon, More dislikes guys, we need this to be a lightsaber. Also, Holy crap microsoft thats the d***est thing ever to make.

  • I find this quite amusing really... It's been known for a while now that the Gmail Ads are based on an algorithm in the Gmail software that is never seen by human eyes and dynamically fetches ads based on keywords, Details of the message are never stored on any other server and are never seen by a human. It's by far the least invasive method they could use.

  • really pathetic video..

  • @DGGRELENTLESS The fact that you use a corporate account kind of moots your point. Since you pay Microsoft, they don't have to sell your address to their spammer customers. I'd happily take ads on the side of my browser screen over spam, while not paying for the service.

  • Microsoft for fuck sakes, Google BEAT you in Email and they BEAT you in cloud services. Stop whinning on the Google owned site of YouTube you pussy pricks!

  • @Microsoft u mad bro?

  • Aggressive stance my m$. 

  • It is almost as if MS is pretending that they don't know how a program works. I guess they are just relying on the ignorance of users. Smells like desperation to me.

  • Funny how this is on YouTube...

  • I wonder how spam protection works in MS email services. Doesn't it read emails?

  • Love this!

  • Who the fk cares if they screen emails and advertise based on that... No one care what the fk you email, you're insignificant. Individually no one really gives a sht about you, but as a whole we create a mass audience for advertisers. So don't flatter yourself people who are against screening...

  • Damn funny comedy-skit, you should make more of them Microsoft. Also, that's for forcing people to use hotmail with the next release of Microsoft. Or should I call it their "Microsoft" account?

  • Why don't they compare it to their fucking hotmail that has 5 times more commercials than gmail and even adds fucking commercial text to the end of each mail!!!

  • I recommend ppl use Adblocker for Firefox. Won't stop them scanning your mail (I dunno why anyone is completely comfortable with this) but it will block ads very well on youtube and gmail.

    If someone has a better email alternative, feel free to share...(not hotmail or yahoo pls.)............

  • At least Google is not evil people trying to make a quick buck they have your version of Microsoft office but for free and no download no company is perfect.

  • let the battle begin

  • hahahaha this is so fricking awesome :D

  • it's kind of cheap for a big company producing such a video

  • Fuck u microsoft you are stressed you need to relax

  • Of course they use ads, who do you think pays for all the awesome services that Google offers for FREE? Would you rather pay for your services or watch some ads? It's the same as in the television business, who do you think that pays all those people? And I don't mind the ads at all! Only frustrated people do! If you don't want ads why don't you done one million dollars to the company so they won't show any ads? Do you have any idea how much it costs to run something like Google?

  • To me, the first sign of a desperate company is when they stop advertising their own features and start desperately clawing at others. This is embarrassing, absolutely no class.

  • @Thydamine They do this for fun, it's not embarassing at all. The truth is google does check everything you do. They have already been sued about this, if you don't mind fine! but this video is epic.

  • @NukuDoi That is ignorance speaking. Technically, Microsoft also checks everything you do when you are using their live services. They look for keywords and URLs in your email to check if it is spam. Google does the same but also offers relevant ads. That's the only thing that is different and Microsoft is all sissy about it because they did not come up with the idea first (and hence couldn't dominate the web market). If it was not for Google, we would be using 10 MB free email accounts

  • @TheWtfffffffffffffff Google changed their EULA for a reason, have you read Chrome EULA? Who is ignorant here, you just want to defend google at all costs, but they are already being sued for their methods. I admired google once back when "email accounts were 10MB" but they are becoming worse than microsoft, don't let your hate blind your judgement

  • @NukuDoi Unfortunately, you got the wrong guy to accuse of ignorance. I (am one of those that) make business decisions for my company and we constantly review EULA of products we use. We are absolutely fine with changed terms of Google.

    And about the Chrome EULA issue, that was fixed 3 years ago and has been reviewed several times since then. Have you even read it yourself? I doubt it.

  • I love gmail..office 36-whatever is stupid

  • They should really fire the guy who came up with the idea of trying to insult the most loved email system with such a tasteless ad in favor of what... office365? oh come on, what did they expect?!

  • he's a pedophile

  • going to make a windows live account now

  • At least we don't have to watch the shitty commercials with family-computers from Microsoft :P

  • Microsoft are idiots for thinking that just to get people to join their own email business because they know Gmail is BETTER!

  • I see that the Microsoft users share the same communication skills as the company that they worship. They insult YOU when you say something about their precious BSOD machine. What I post about Microsoft has nothing to do with the users of Microsoft so don't get so frustrated. "I am a Windows Vista user and I am so offended"

  • It's actually kinda funny...but you can set your gmail no to display an ad based on what your typing

  • Wow, bad form Microsoft. Bad form.

  • @PrincessWilly29 You know Microsoft, I seem to recall a commercial somebody mad about you (that just happened to be doing the same thing you are here) that you guys got taken off the air. I see how it is, you can smear anybody you want, but they can't do it to you, huh? v=r5KyhGw1DzU

  • I wanna have the theme song for my ringtone

  • The attitude of GmailMan sucks.

  • To everyone that is hating on Hotmail. This video has nothing to do with Hotmail, its about Office 365 being better than Gmail in terms of the Ads flooding your "space", they aren't lying either. And I also wouldn't be lying if I said Office 365 is much better than Gmail in many other ways, sure it costs money, but its a lot better.

  • Comment removed

  • I would MABY go back to Hotmail if they made it look nice like Gmail.

    Gmail is simply mutch more good looking and easy to use

  • @slick3n Just use windows live mail.plug you gmail info into it, that's what I've been using for a couple of years. Sure they have my data but at lest with live mail I don't have to see all that crap they are pushing.

  • this is so stupid, microsoft i thought you were cool

  • friendlyな郵便やさんでとても助かっています

  • WTF??!!

    Fucking Hotmail!

    G-Mail is the best!

    ¬¬

  • THIS IS THE MOST IDIOTIC THING I HAVE EVER SEEN AND EVER SEE you guys at microsoft just want people to buy your garbage while Google is just better YOU EVEN POSTED THIS VIDEO ON YOUTUBE WHICH IS OWNED BY GOOGLE that shows how dumb you are microsoft your products are obsolite

  • lol

    

  • People thinking apple is hipster seriously needs to look at apples stock price. One of the biggest and most valuable company in the world is certainly NOT the definition of hipster. Install ubuntu in your computer if you think your such a hipster.

  • ahaha google drones crying even though google is collecting all your information

  • @MsPwain

    Lol is ok my fren

  • I actually use both. Gmail and Hotmail.. Honestly the ammount of spam is growing really fast on Gmail and Hotmail worked to get rid of undesired ads. Anyone knows that. Remember Gmail 4 years ago? Really clean! Now I get invaded by products ads that I dont even know the purpose... Hotmail is better than Gmail nowadays. Google is the best search engine, and Microsoft has a winner in windows 8 and windows phone.

  • Windows 8 rules. Apple fanboys need to complete college to understand I guess.

  • Very funny to see people that think Microsoft is dying and will be replaced by google... Very funny indeed

  • I use both microsoft and gmail, but a slander campaign is pretty pathetic. Also windows 8 sucks dick.

  • AHAHAHA I FUCKING LOVE MICROSOFT MORE NOW.

  • @PleaseNeverDoThis ha ha ha i dont.

  • Taken from Gmail's FAQ

  • Priority Inbox, spell checking, forwarding, auto-responding, automatic saving and sorting, and converting URLs to clickable links are just a few of the many features that use this kind of automatic processing.

  • Does Gmail read your Emails?

    No, but automatic scanning and filtering technology is at the heart of Gmail. Gmail scans and processes all messages using fully automated systems in order to do useful and innovative stuff like filter spam, detect viruses and malware, show relevant ads, and develop and deliver new features across your Google experience...

  • this is so good

    

  • The funniest thing is that we are watching and commenting this on google's service. And if you click the link to microsoft blog you'll see that all the comments are banned.

  • butthurt gmail users everywhere

  • This is why I stick with hotmail.

  • >2012

    >not using Firefox and AdBlock

    I seriously hope...

  • all the dislikes equals the proportion of butthurt gmail users watching this and knowing it's true.

    but will they pick a real mailbox with pop and smtp ? nope ! noooope ! google is futuuuure !

  • this is funny because it's true

  • Welcome to the google circle jerk

  • Oh god, Apple shitstorm incoming...

  • Office 365 is stupid! Thumbs up!

  • ww. digitaljou rnal. co m/ rticl e/320 37

  • I could come in to work the next day and it wouldn't work the same? Oh, wait - that's called Patch Tuesday! Microsoft invented it...

  • Okay kiddies. Let me tell you a story. It's not a human that is reading your mail, it's a script of code that looks at keywords of your mail, and the non-human magic displays the ad. No Google employee is allowed to look at your mail. Microsoft should be the least to talk, Hotmail is the most compromised email service in the world. My Hotmail account got banned because I was apparently sending out spam every hour.

  • Its an Advertisement you stuck up pricks. Don't like it? Close it and move on with your lives. I personally find them hilarious.

  • Are you trying to tell me that hotmail is better than gmail? HA! I scoff at your ignorance microsoft

  • @DrTrevorP they aren't even talking about Hotmail dude, this whole thing is about office 365. sooo, im gonna have to "scoff" at your ignorance.

  • Is this not copyright infringement on the part of Microsoft?

  • @eden12340 Also, Gmail provides the option to turn off Personal Ads in Gmail...

  • Complaining about Google but using their AdSense to advertise your own software like Office and Windows... You paying Google for your ads and you don't agree about it, doesn't this make it a bit ironic?

  • @linkkrw Isn't the irony in the fact that Google OWNS youtube and Microsoft is bashing their corporation from within the inside, whilst using Google's services? Nice going Microsoft, you guys really are dying... Bing, Windows IE, and Windows 8 aren't even worth mentioning when comparing search providers, internet browsers, or operating systems.

  • @linkkrw also, microsoft has this video on Youtube, which is a website owned by google, lol

  • @linkkrw No. They're taking a jab at Gmail because it scans emails for keywords to suggest ads to the user. They're not complaining about Google in general, but their way of providing ads to users of Gmail.

  • @x0acake I use Gmail and I really saw ads from Microsoft. So if they don't agree with the way its "scanning" why you agree to place ads in Gmail? (you can set where and where not to show your ads in Adsense).

  • Comment removed

  • @linkkrw Not that I think you're lying, but I'm creating a Google Adsense account for my website and I'll see if such an option exists.

  • I dont know guys gmail man looks like a boss.

  • wile i understand you want to take google this isnt how you do it

  • hilarious. true. but NO WAY will u convert me away from google! I LOVE GMAIL!!

  • This makes me hate Microsoft now.

  • Windows can suck on my weeny for doing this against google, gmail ftw.

  • They are very hypocritical in Microsoft, instead of innovating to keep their 'customers', are dedicated to disqualify their direct rivals, criticizing them for doing something that absolutly all the free services, that wins money from contextual advertising, do. Microsoft included.

    Google instead let them to hang the video on Youtube.

  • Comment removed

  • Congratulations to Google for not censoring/removing those videos

  • Hey guys at Microsoft, here's another revelation you can tout in your next supersmart ad (via Google's YouTube, hahaha). If you believe it or not, Google even "reads" what I'm SEARCHING. Can you really believe that they dare to do that? It's called targeted advertising, and everybody knows about. And you guys know what -- NO ONE CARES, some even LIKE it. As some other consumers have said here, go and imporve your Hotmail etc. products instead of throwing dirt at others.

  • The true story!

  • Thumbs up if you notice the Contoso LTD on the doors :D

  • If you're really worried about hosts reading your email, you could set up your own mail server on your own computer. The sort of old computer that gets left on a sidewalk corner has more than enough power to run Linux and sendmail or Postfix and Squirrelmail.

  • why are there so many dislikes? this is genious!

  • OK, so you're trying to make other companies look bad and lessen the competition.

    Sure, fine but will people really want to switch to something that's worse?

    If you want people using your services, you gotta do something about the services, not try to wipe out competition by doing these disses and whatnot.

    THUMBS UP IF YOU'RE WITH ME!!!

  • Another diss from Microsoft, trying to make other companies look bad.

    Classic...

  • Very funny, Microsoft uploading evil stuff about Google, on Youtube, and Youtube is owned by Google.

  • 2:03 epic laugh from Gmail Man.

  • "the two get together and an ad is born" -- brilliant! Here is, I think, all web 2.0 technology in brief preview :)

    P.S. No, it's unacceptable for M$ to use "Black PR" technology and to spread them, using google's youtube.

  • I would rather read some ads than buy your piece of shit software. These videos only show that you are scared and desperate. You are afraid to admit that you are dying .That's what you get for Internet Explorer, Windows Vista & BSOD! We will NOT miss you!

  • @florinnuu

    nobody said you have to buy a complete mailer client designed for companies and businesses. just ...

    okay the following chapter about the existing email providers might be too technical, keep gmail, sorry.

  • @florinnuu Looks like you're mad and bad at using a computer. Kindly fuck off.

  • @florinnuu Internet Explorer 9 is the fastest browser to date, Windows Vista was the first full-featured 64 bit desktop operating system for consumer market and BSOD is completely unrelated to this topic. What's your point?

  • @Mehedict What is more the BSODs usually happen due to the hardware malfunction or (more rare) driver bug.

  • @jpelczar AFAIK, you're correct on that one.

  • @Mehedict Windows Vista was and is the without any competition at all - slowest most useless OS in the world ever made and will be made. The only thing it was good for was updating, not that the updates made any difference, but the update function worked - it updated and updated and then restarted and updated and then updated the updates and restarted again.

    Microsoft cheated users big time there. No need to go on Windows or buy bloated MS products ever again.

  • @Mehedict Internet Explorer 9 is a poor attempt to use hardware acceleration to hide MS' poor programming. That is, if you are a really sloppy programmer, your programs will feel slow for the user, so MS' idea is; it doesn't matter, if the GPU is so fast, noone will notice... well, except for when you look at your electrical bill of course. Fast and efficient programming doesn't need hardware acceleration at all, and it will be cheaper.

    Fast & Efficient != Microsoft

  • @florinnuu

    Macfaggot detected.

    How does it feel to get tricked into buying cheap, inferior and outdated FOXCONN hardware by manipulative ad campaigns that tell you you're "artistic" if you use a shit computer with an extra shiny case?

    I'm sure your boyfriend loves OS X too because it's perfect for watching gay porn and useless for anything else.

    Enjoy your starbucks coffee and 2000 dollar facebook machine you fucking hipster.

  • @g3xter2 I use Ubuntu if you really what to know! And at this point I see that there is no way to argue with you because you seem to know everything. Of course, you are a microsoft user! You are loyal to a company that is anti-competitive and hungry for money! Yes, you are smarter than MAC users but you still pay for a piece of shit software. I don't know why I argue over the internet with people like you. I've posted something about the company and you insult me personally.

  • @g3xter2 An I forgot... enjoy your BSOD!

  • i work in google and they never read your mails nor do they make failure products like office365 only Microsoft use them hehehe

  • Do you think they can get sued for this? They should

  • You hypocrites! Why are you using YouTube?!

  • awesome ad, hahah!

  • Everyone's getting massively butthurt, but Microsoft is just telling the truth.

    Google hates privacy.

  • @doom032 as does Microsoft.

  • but... but... this is incredibly stupid. And targeted at kids. Or more exactly, the dumb retard inbred kindergarteners Microsoft thinks all users are.

  • thats... sort of true? but its not like they actually READ your email and sees what goes on...

  • @urpersonaltroll1 Yeah they do you fag.

  • @Eaglesolidus you're so ignorant for thinking that way... and you don't have much of a defence either... the real fag would be you, so stop whining you 9 year old

  • @ImMapleBlue dude I know him in real life and I'm just trolling.

  • i love it!

    suck it google!

  • Got his nose in every colon? Eeeew Microsoft...

  • Stupid Microsoft! They don't understand how this video looks for a people! ;-(

  • Reminds me of hotmail

  • resorted to childish slurs already have we microsoft? seems to me that google must be destroying you if you have to make such videos.

  • It's funny because YouTube is part of Google

  • dafuq did i just watched ...

  • This shows how desperate is mircosoft right now, showing lame and unprofessional ads.

  • @Xweart Show when Apple has been doing ads like this for the past 10 years its been "prosfessional"?

  • @Hajeh22 I didn't mention anything about Apple at all. O.O

  • @Xweart As someone else said, Apple has been doing it for a long while; probably longer than you've been around.

  • but,but,but...

  • hahaha, its funny because they all do that -.-

  • @VirdX yeah lol if not they wouldn't make money lol and everybody knows there's no Santa Claus right? lol

  • Here's an idea.. Thunderbird?

  • 4115 goggle's

  • 3102 microsoft employees

  • DIE!

    GMAIL is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­y better than HOTMAIL!

  • Its better than your terrible Hotmail.

  • You see. Google shows their tolerance and demeanor on Youtube. On the opposite side, can Microsoft shows the same demeanor at the same time? I'm afraid not.

  • @jackchanyp Google does not allow it's employees to say aything negative about the company, even when they are not working. And if they do they can get fired.

    Microsoft has not such policy.

    Go ahead, search for rants from MS employees and enjoy the readings.

    Then search for rants from Google employees, you'll find only a few... from EX Google employees.

    Same demeanor, right?

  • @jackchanyp Your point?

  • @jackchanyp Well you are probably running a Mircosoft OS...

  • Эпический шит, а по телевизору микрософт не такой шлак крутит.

  • I love how they uploaded the video to a Google service

  • hahaha silly rabbit, 5 dollars a month for email? If i wanted to pay for it i would setup my won mail server....

  • @internetrush PS: sc*w you microsoft and your money grubbing schemes.

  • Uhhhh i use Gmail...

  • Microsoft could get out of the email market and get in on the comedy market with videos like this. Really this is better than Hotmail! :)

  • @nilsonsaless Hotmail stinks - I spent 10 minutes to find the "Inbox" - then I switched to a competing Email provider with better usability.

    Horrible service from Microsoft, I can not recommend Hotmail at all.

  • It's mean and pathetic for a company to attack other companies like that in order to promote its products. I don't remember Google ever does that sort of thing to Microsoft. Who's the real evil one then? Microsoft just won't give up until it monopolizes computer-related industries. Who should we watch out for?

  • @wwfille google openly sells your info to anyone who wants it including keywords web history and downloads

  • Pathetic.

  • It is best to ignore this, because if we like or not like they want more and more visitors, the only good thing the group can do "creative" is to discredit Microsoft. They are as corrupt politicians, creating half-truths more and more confusing to users who must give better products, like Google do give a better service and do not need this kind of smear campaigns, it is unfortunate that such rise Youtube videos to knowing who are members of Google, Microsoft gives a great pity.

  • LOL MICROSOFT YOU FAIL google owns youtube they could ban this channel and then your fucked. and will have to go to vimeo and vimeo sucks

  • cheap

  • Translation: Our Office 365 sucks. Its only advantage is that it doesn't have ads in it....

    MS- I don't care if Gmail software "reads" my mail. I'm looking for quality. So why won't you stop making this kind of videos and start improving your products?

  • @binyamin85 So you've actually used Office 365? I'm genuinely curious, because Gmail provides very limited functionality to Exchange. Oh, and just because YOU don't care about ads next to your email, doesn't mean real companies don't.

  • @LennyOnTheRun real companies have their own mailservers.. heck even I have my own mailserver..

    and you can deactivate the "gmailman".. just opt out
