It is sick, really sick . . . and probably a stroke of marketing genius - it certainly has had a lot of people talking about it. Even the MacFanatics have been talking about it. "No such thing as bad publicity', you know.

Ummm...Elliot Spitzer?

Yeah, it's gone viral, but I'm very much inclined to think this was not of set purpose by MS or by the lame-ass "house party" marketing group that produced it for them. In the case of the latter, think of all the potential clients going "Get these people on the phone! I want them to produce an internet video that will make our flagship product an object of scorn!" I guess it's one thing if you're trying to market the "Super Bass-o-Matic 76" and not getting any traction, but it's not as though Windows 7 was going to launch unnoticed this fall.
