I shared this on British Mac's forum. Hope you guys like this too.



As far as I can tell this was an advert a couple of years old made by Microsoft to promote the Songsmith softwear.


Glorious.

On a side note it was an interesting choice of laptop that Microsoft made. Do you guys recognise it?

Just a ten a penny laptop, looks pretty common for the time.

I watched it all but it is a classic example of why all ad agency people should be taken out and beaten with large sticks until they are nearly dead before their skin is taken off with power sanders. Then dunked in salt before being buried neck high in sand. Faces covered with jam and army ants set upon them.

No. That'd be VW. Continually. Since way before the launch of the V GTI.

Remember, they work to a brief set by the client. Put sh!t in, get sh!t out.
