Windows 7 Ad Flaunts Adorable Kid, Maximum PC Quote, and Pink Ponies

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

Microsoft knows people like adorable kids in commercials. So why not throw one into an ad for Windows 7? Microsoft’s new advert for the upcoming OS includes the aforementioned adorable kid, a MaximumPC quote, and even some cute animals. You can’t really ask for more.

The video illustrates that even a properly motivated kid can use Windows 7. Little Kylie makes a slideshow of quotes from Windows 7 reviews (all “happy words” of course). You know… something that any kid would do. The ad ends with the now familiar “I’m a PC” line and a promise that more “happy words” are coming.

Most enthusiasts already know about the high praise Windows 7 has received. So, is this ad going to be effective in the mainstream?

avatarWhoever is in charge of Microsoft's ads

Whoever is in charge of Microsoft advertising should be fired and shot. I was going to buy Windows 7, but just because of that commercial, I'll stick with XP. Or maybe go back to 2000. Hell, I'll switch to Linux.

avatarWill's dream is coming true...

 Remember Gordon's rant about having to search for search in Vista? He mocked Will about defending Windows. And now look! Maximum PC becomes as cute as a My Little Pony in Microsofts eyes! Who knows?! Maybe Will's gonna be the new Jerry Seinfield!

avatarDont care how cute she's sposed to be...

... I'd still have words for putting her pudgy little greasy snot covered fingerprints all over my nice shinny screen.

Someone also needs to tell her old man about Winkey+L, then he wouldn't have to put up with his lappy being plastered with slideshows and cheesy one-hit-wonders.

Grats on the quote tho.
