Highlights from the YouTube comments:

"This is the whitest thing I have ever seen."

"KILL IT WITH FIRE!"

"I think their business ecosystem crapped this video out without consulting a single creative soul."

If that doesn't convince you to switch to Vista nothing will!

Wow! I'll take 5 copies of Vista Ultimate Hyper Business Extreme, please!

...andtheni'llburythem.

Vista is Microsoft's Iraq occupation.

Bruce Springsteen should take Microsoft to court over this. No jury in the land would side with Microsoft after seeing this crime against humanity.

We should sue YouTube just for letting this be posted.

Wow, what is it like to be a fake groupie to a fake band for an embarrassing internal movie trying to get a corporation to drink its own kool-aid.

"Virtualization, Network Access Protection... And if they're not sold yet - Diagnostic and Recovery Toolset"

I simply can't accept that this approach to businesses would still BE AROUND, let alone actually working AT ALL - just throwing random fancy words and names at an executive and hoping it sells. I think that's what's fundamentally wrong with MS sales. Or US small sales mentality in general, for that matter.

And Ecosystem? Wtf? All of it, the dumb 'entrepreneur', the moronic 'party', THE FUCKING SUPERMAN COSTUME, and the freeze-frames when they jump in the air on top of it... the horror, the horror...
Words fail me.

I want to note how convoluted M$ must be to try and convince it's own sales team that Vista sales ever "soared".

I didn't hear the word compatibility..or maybe that's in the remix with Puff Daddy???

This HAS to be a joke. Capitals don't lie.

My favorite part was the guy on the sax - who had a solo and never moved a finger to play a variety of notes. He's a like a ventriloquist - with with a saxamaphone!

Imagine being part of the meeting where this is rolled out, and you are required to sit and give this your focussed attention for the entire running length.

He rhymed protection with protection.

I hate to break up the fun, but this was, in fact, a joke. It was an intentional parody perpetrated by Microsoft employees upon Microsoft employees.

Which kinda tells you how much Microsoft makes if they can afford to throw away the money to make this kind of video as a joke.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

^bullshit.

I don't think this is a joke. Too big of a budget for that - unless you have some linkage proof? (then I'll eat my bullshit)

In the meantime- another one for my corporate training video playlist.

edit: I prefer this Vista song: http://www.pcpitstop.com/offsite.asp?http://www.reverbnation.com/controller/audio_player/download_song/502388

I got this link, so I'll partially eat my bullshit:

But half-way through the meal- I will interject "Wait!, just because Microsoft says it's a joke after the fact- we have to believe it?"

Win V.sp.1 is made of rocks.
