It’s funny because it’s true – sadly.
Sad but true.

Hilarious. Great music. Godawful design.
absolutely brilliant.
Fantastic ……great work
Very funny……..
And so true about MSFT…. a company run by a sales guy (Balmer)…
Microsoft is just so sad
LMAO!!!
great video. really funny
yep yep
LMAO
That. was. BRILLIANT.
Who has time to do this stuff?
MDN word: simple. No, really.
That was absolutely brilliant! I’m going to save a link to send to the marketing mgr at my company next time he puts his 2 cents in about my “simplistic package design”.
Me Approve. Looks just like MS packaging now.
Every major branding department in every company should be forced to study this video.
Actually, ummm, maybe not . . . let the rest of them continue to suck.
Apple will rule them all.
So true. So true.
OMG BEST POST EVAR!
Done using Motion?
That was BRILLIANT! The very best satire resonates because of how closely it strikes to the truth. Kudos to the creators for an instant classic.
LOL .. Too funny.
But the sad thing about it is that most clients we have are like that. Just want to fill up the white space.
The creator of the vid deserves a prize.
What about the ‘Grim Alternity’ Award?
Several people in the office didn’t get it. One guy thought the improvements made sense from a shopping experience. Says it ooks more like what he’s use to.
Sigh!
That is why Microsoft is still in business.
some of the final panels weren’t all that bad, but the front panel was horrible and totally true.
That’s freak’n hilarious.
Let me post this again… (Where’d the original go, MDN?).
I would laugh too much – Paul Mercer who was instrumental in the original design of the iPod (through Apple’s purchase of Pixo when it could roll it’s own) is working with Samsung to design a PlaysForSure player.

This must be how they do everything from software (sorry, should be bugs!) to hardware
that’s very funny stuff.
how can I save this stuff? I desperately need this clip. Quicktime if possible
