Thinking about switching? Read this.

by Anthony Parkinson on Nov 14, 2008 at 01:09 PM

I am not going to bad mouth Microsoft or Bill Gates; there are enough people out there who choose to do that. Bill Gates donates millions of dollars every year to charity, and even has his own charitable foundation. That being said, let me describe a situation for you and… Continue Reading »

The Microsoft marketing staff must be getting paid per idea these days! How else can we explain the Seinfeld+Gates response to the “I’m a Mac” campaign?

The Mojave Experiment: manipulation at its finest

by Adam Fisher-Cox on Aug 15, 2008 at 12:12 PM

Microsoft’s new ads dubbed “The Mojave Experiment” are a breed of their own. They reek of damage control, selective editing, and good old manipulation.
