Microsoft Uses Mac In PC-Only App Advertisement

Busted. In an apparent gaff that undermines Microsoft's multi-million dollar "I'm a PC" campaign an ad for a PC-only software program Songsmith, made by Microsoft, features a MacBook Pro.

Lord Anubis6366d ago

Do yourself a favor. Don't watch the video.

uie4rhig6366d ago

take anubis's advice and DON'T WATCH IT!!! it's really disturbing !!!

micro_invader6366d ago

I watched it... :/

MikeMichaels6366d ago

I just barfed in my mouth.

It's funny...you know something is gonna flop hard when the commercial is calling itself "The next big thing"....in song no doubt.

Epic Fail.

Tempist6366d ago

Yes song bad, meat of the article bad too.

Lets face it, that Ad frim who made the ad is NEVER EVER getting a good job again. I bet they were all like "Oh noes! we only have macs around here and cannot find a sleek PC laptop!" "put stickers on it, no one will ever noes!

ThanatosDMC6365d ago

Godmars2906366d ago

Was about to fall for the "is this milk bad" syndrome and look at the movie anyway, but just the intro pic sends up a warning flag.

"Microsoft right? So it's pretty easy to use?"

HAHAHAHA. That is hilarious. I've had more complications with my PC then anything else I've owned (technology wise). Just last night I fought an epic battle against my computer to restore some very important files that became corrupt out of the blue. You could see the fire in my eyes as I charged through my hard drive trying to find the source of the problem. Tears streamed down my face as I became locked into a battle of wits against C://. I seemed to have struck it down with the magic of the knowledge of the internet, but it was not done yet. With one final glancing blow, it got back up and finished me off. I... failed.

In all seriousness, I'm pretty angry right now.

Sheddi6366d ago

It the same way for me :S
ive always had battles with my PC...even now!
Next PC im getting is gonna be a mac or linux.
Tired of this s***.

GlibGamer6366d ago

Soooooo.....

You could have a hardware issue like a harddrive with bad sectors, and you're automatically blaming software? OK! Seriously, don't talk crap about something unless you know what it is, specifically, that you're talking about.

poindat6366d ago

Doesn't matter. What does matter is that when a problem arises, the first thing I think of is Microsoft and one of their apps. Not a good stigma for a company to have.

DJ6365d ago

And I just got forced to install the 32-bit version of a program. The 64-bit install kept crashing. (Vue 7)

Great job, MS. *thumbs up*
But good news. My Wacom driver showed up again! =D

Sheddi6365d ago

90% of my problems have been software related.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing54d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9254d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit54d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing54d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9254d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
