This video is real!

This application is REAL!

WTF is up with this company!?!? It’s like they don’t give a shit anymore: Yeah, whatever…some bonehead wrote a crappy sing-along application - put it up for beta testing.

Can this company get any more pathetic?

I think the only thing that can save Microsoft at this point is the second coming of Bill Gates. Between the Vista and Zune fiascos, as well as their MSN debacle, this is a dead company walking.

I really like it.  it is fun to watch, and it is nice how one clicks on “mood” words, and a beat/background sound starts the ball rolling.

It certainly is different.  But I do see you point.

Best of all, the girl’s laptop is a Mac….

I thought nrabinov was pulling our collective leg, but actually the product and advertisement seem genuine; which is so bad it is almost good.

I said it is real TWICE, didn’t I?
I didn’t believe it either, but then I went to microsoft.com and sure enough, there it was…

I guess it’s a tongue-in-cheek attempt at self-deprecation, but even in this respect Microsoft manages to come up lame.

And I still don’t get why they used a Macbook.

Steve Balmer must be snorting something.

They used a macbook because not only is it the best for OSX it is also the best PC

Are they going senile?

Well, based on their latest foray into DRM’d music for MSN Mobile (see the other thread), I’d say yes.
