Microsoft’s latest: We’re good when you’re poor

Posted on March 29th, 2009

Have you seen Microsoft’s latest campaign? I call it, “We’re good when you’re poor”. It started with a speech by Balmer (twit?) about how Apple’s sales have fallen during the bad economy and that Microsoft sales were going up.

Wow, I couldn’t believe my ears. They’re actually touting that their OS is great now that the economy sucks rather than, we built something better. What is really sad is that Windows 7 is going to be great, really great – yet they decide instead to go out Apple bashing. A game they can only lose.

I’ve also seen posts on the Windows blog site along with TV commercials about finding a “Computer that fits your needs” but for under $1000 … duh – of course nobody can then pick a Mac and Microsoft make out as if this is a good comparison. Maybe for monkeys…. that is like giving someone $10k to buy a car and then saying, well they picked a Kia – must be better than a BMW.

*clap* *clap* ….
