You're allowed to say that (have you ever seen the Mac vs PC ads). They are targeting GDocs here, not YouTube or their search (or anything else). Have you used GDocs? It is simply shocking. The ONLY good feature is the seamless syncing, but Office Apps provide something very similar anyway. This is a corny video to prove a very good point, only a fanboy could say GDocs is better than Office.

I like it(never seen it, but YouTube videos I've never seen I just like).

Why the dislikes? Did the GFanboys finally find this video? It's completely accurate, just take a look at the recent UI redesign of GMail. It's a usability downgrade of an epic magnitude. Forced downgrades -- definitely good for business users, amirite?

that would be awesome if microsoft merged with google, imagine what they would come up with lol

I must say... this is so typical of Ballmer lol. I'd like to see such an ad against Apple.

If you only you tried Google Cloud Connect/Docs/Drive + Microsoft Office...

They make a really mean combo. Power of office, plus co-editing, syncing, file management, sharing, collaborating capability of Docs makes office nearly perfect.

I've tried Skydrive & its sharing tools but I don't think it matches the usefulness of the Google equivalent.

If only microsoft merges with Google...

This ad would have been good had it not been lying and slamming Google. First it made the Google guy seem like a total jerk just to make people hate Google Docs. You can also run Google Docs offline [support(dot)google dot)com/docs/bin/answer.py?hl=­en&answer=1628467]. Along with that, Google Docs is free, so even if it had ads (which it doesn't) it wouldn't matter. Google itself has ads, but not GDOCS. Also, Microsoft is hypocritical, as its PAID for Xbox Live service has ads.

I "disliked the video" because of the underlying message and because I think Microsoft is evil. Actually it is an awesome advertisement. You guys should work for Google!

I think it's interesting how this vid went from 90% likes when it first came out in February to nearly 75% DISLIKES.... hmmm

Bad Microsoft :(!, Google Chrome is the best!, all from Google is the best!
