This ad has became my driving force in my life for many years now. I have dedicated over 12 years of my life in IT and at one point, my career became meaningless. I stumbled on this ad one day and from that day on, I see my career differently. Money is no longer the driving force but to help the community and our world to the best I can. I still watch this
@andybsong very true!...what you say is correct...Money is part of life in only few ways...after earning money (like billgates), its always other ideas, helping tendency, sharing knowledge are the wealth...
"It's what inspires all we do. Because at the end of the day, the true measure of our success is not in the power of our software, but in the power that unleashes in you."
Because of this advertisement, I'm leaving right now to go buy a brand new copy of Windows Vista even though my computer already has XP. I think these guys advertise just because they have the money to show their balls
Well that was the key to Microsoft's success. They could hit a chord with the consumer through advertising, and didn't need a good product for it to sell. It would be nice if people had a little more "independent" thought going on, but then that would like asking a blind man if he can see. Its just not going to happen. ( BTW-I am not having a go at you here, so please don't take offense :) )
It's quite funny that bitter M$ fanboys just keep putting negative ratings on anyones comments who are even slightly questionable of Microsoft.I wonder is it because the truth cuts through them like a sword?
Although I'm sick and tired of Windows, I must admit: this is one great ad. If they make their best to make us get to the top, how far can we criticise them?
I think Microsoft has the potential to become great, but they must stop playing around with IBM. They need more style, myself I use XP. I think their commercials though are truly inspiring.
These ads are always so inspiring. AND TRUE for all you apple buttholes. You're just jealous because apple has the crappiest commercials known to man...
ye i rekon microsoft are pretty sound! who cares about the minor holes etc...i wouldnt have a clue what to do...i mean here i am watchin this through windows xp, just imagine if both microsoft and appple were 2 work 2gether imagine that!
Apple went almost down the drain WITHOUT Microsoft's help. Microsoft saved apple when apple started to lose money. Microsoft invested in Apple's stock, and released many programs for Apple. Research before you talk.
When did I say Apple wouldn't have gone down the drain without Microsoft? I am merely pointing out the Microsoft's reasons for Saving Apple were not exactly as great as people think,you took me up wrong.I do conduct research do not simply throw away my comments because you make presumptions about them.
You are so defensive about Microsoft that you are blinded by your bias. Another reason why Microsoft helped save Apple might be because by the law the market had to stay competitive so Msoft had no choice but to help Apple otherwise face the wrath of the legal system for which Microsoft has already had a few questionable dealings with.
i think ms ads are better than apple ads in the sense that they don't slam their competitiors right in their face. almost all of the apple ads i've watched have slammed microsoft; it's pretty sad.
@autumnwytch I too love Microsoft ads, but I also love Apple ads. I think the "I'm a Mac" ads were TERRIBLE (for the reasons you mentioned), but most Apple ads are generally very good.

I see... A crappy operating system with more holes than a swiss cheese.
It's what inspires us to create software? Gee Bill,I thought it was the money! but of course I must be wrong due to the incredibly low price of Vista,at only $160 what a great deal!
lol get crossover......its expensive.....bout 200 gbp.....it allows you to run mac osx and ilife through windows....its worth it.....i run logic through my crossover which i need for music technology coursework.....
I already know that Microsoft in later 2008 early 2009 plan on cutting support for everything under vista, they then plan to realse a new PRE long horn then 2009-2010 Long Horn is to come! But they will hopfuly die by then :P
