I am referring to Microsofts new Vista SP1 Advertisement. It features some kind of band rocking their way through a song that features such lyrics as When they see the improvements in security, desktop and mobility, and productivity, they’ll say Vista, Gotta Get me some , sung by odd looking men who look like they shouldve stopped singing 15 years ago with the same wannabe groupie making appearances all over the shop and strutting like a chicken. What WERE they thinking? I hardly think this is going to appeal to anyone. Are they trying to funny adverts like Dairy Milk? If so, this isn’t funny, it isn’t fun and it is nowhere near as good the Glass and a Half full production adverts. Microsoft need to rethink their advertising as this is going to make them a laughing stock.

I have Vista and I hate it. It recently updated on my laptop and it just wouldn’t stop, I had put my computer on standby and it decided to update with out my realising. I turned on the laptop and there it was still updating and restarting but not actually making any progress. It wouldn’t let me into safe mode or anything so I had to wipe the disks, and that made me lose about 30 pages of Coursework and notes. Yay me. The only thing I like about Vista is the way it looks, I may go back to XP but I doubt it.

In case any of you didn’t click the link in the first paragraph, I will embed the video of the oh-so-rubbish Vista SP1 song called Rockin’ our Sales by Bruce ServicePack and the Vista Street Band.
