It's really not surprising Microsoft is suffering a massive PR hemorrhage.
Particularly when you see leaked movies like this designed to educate internal operatives on techniques to force, urge, cajole, convince, beg companies to buy Vista.
How did this get produced?
Did anyone at Redmond hear the pitch? Read the script? Watch the rough cuts?
If a media company, no matter how "mom and pop," was hired by Microsoft to make this, wouldn't they feel any compunction to advise their client against it?
Well, who's to argue with "Bruce ServicePack and the Vista Street Band" when they claim that "selling optimized desktop value is a pitch that never fails"? There's a whole lotta microspeak in this 3-minute gem.
Also, although it doesn't seem possible, I have it on good authority that this movie is not a joke.
I love the CEO saying "Vista, Gotta Get Me Some!" Classic.
