Marketing Apple: Secrets of the World's Best Marketing Machine

Seriously Microsoft. What R U thinking?

It's one thing to try to think different with your marketing.  It's another when trying too hard to look cool comes and bites you in the ass.  Just when I got the Microsoft Store video out of my mind and the Windows 7 home party infomercial (really, Steve Ballmer, did you think ANYONE would ever have a Windows 7 house party?) there comes the new Kin commercial. 

Enjoy.  Or don't. 

Microsoft PR, call me. I have an idea that will catapult you back to the top of the charts by playing off your strengths and leveraging Apple's marketing.
