I just Stumbled upon this link: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/01/15/worst-microsoft-video-promo-ever-take-2-just-cover-up-the-mac-with-stickers/

This quote just made me crack up:

Microsoft, huh? So it's pretty easy to use?
A lot of kids at my HIGH SCHOOL don't know how to effectively use Microsoft Office. :lolflag:

AAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHH that has to be the worst ad I've ever seen or heard, thank God we won't get that advertisement here in Australia.

Oh yeah, have a great Australia Day all you other Aussies on the 26th Jan, throw a some lamb or steak or prawns on your BBQ's.

Brilliant marketing. Not sure if it was intentional or not, but it served it's purpose.

Besides just being painful to watch (see for yourself below), the laptop she is using to show her Dad how to use Songsmith is a Mac! Did I mention that Songsmith only works on PCs? Whoever made the video thought they could fool everyone by covering up the Apple logo and the rest of the laptop with stickers. Or maybe they knew that would be the only way anybody would bother to watch the video.

Windows has worked on Macs for several years now.
That aside, the ad is painful to watch.

Yes, but wouldn't buying a Mac to use in a promo video imply supporting Apple?

Why, Apple? Why must you have such beautiful and functional hardware, why?

Mmmm... steak and prawns... *drool*
