RE: WP7 Ads

I work/wrestle quite a bit with the compact framework, and I think Microsoft still has quite a bit to learn about this space. It might be the season of the Witch but Dorothy Gale (aka. android) is already here.

I just got one of those HTC EVO's, and it's amazing, but I haven't had a really smart phone before( Samsung instinct). You sort of have to jump in to the Google-plex with both feet though.

Yikes

Sorry about that.  I think the link is actually valid, but apparently the servers are overloaded.  You can go to YouTube and search for WP7 ad, but that is slow right now as well.  I would say they were targeting people with jobs, including internet addicts who want to get away from it now and then.  As well as people who don't want to get run over by drivers on mob.

Wow, MS did something I like.  (Which is probably not good for MS.)  I love this commercial, and it is how I see the mobile world of today, even when on the roads:

The problem for MS is, there just aren't that many people out there who enjoy the real world anymore.  I can't imagine this ad working.  Whenever an ad appeals to me, then you've probably got a problem.
