Windows 7 Phone Ad - Very very odd
Have you seen the new wave of ads for the new Windows 7 phone? The main message is that people are currently too preoccupied with their current smart phone ( aka iPhone ) that they miss out in the real things in life. So they show people in various situations overlooking the important things in life. And somehow the new Windows 7 phone simplifies all this so you can use it quick and get on with your life. But in reality the ads are just showing that the iPhone is so cool they don't want to put it down, and the Windows 7 phone is so basic you put it down immediately. Sort of follows along the lines of past Microsoft ads which after watching make you wonder, Huh? what is their point?. The ads have very little showing how cool the W7 phone is, which makes me wonder if the ad agency didn't have much to work with so they came up with this wild marketing strategy. Hmmm weird.

Stitch, all I can say is, "Let it languish". I hope they keep their ads exactly that way, and I hope Windows 7 phone is a colossal disappointment! Sounds mean, doesn't it? In general this is what we've come to expect of MS. But I still smart from the desktop Windows ads, which I admit they have done a good job with. So, GO IPHONE!!!
