But, will that convince or market their products?? Maybe, the next few ads could market them well. Well, yes the ad is funny, no doubt about it. But, will that convince or market their products??

As far as i see it, the problem Microsoft has to solve is a perception problem, not a problem with their products. Vista is a decent OS, by far better than XP was, and yet the public perception ist heavily distorted, in my opinion mostly because MS is the big fish in the pond that everybody has grown fond of to hate, over the dark years of security problems and often stubborn behavior. You can't change that with a campaign that simply touts your products. It's what people expect, and it's what many people are immediately ready to sweep aside, as just another boring and foreseeable ad. Obviously, and i may say finally, they acknowledged that, and do the right thing: present themselves in a self ironic and at least to me quite funny way, thereby slowly, but (i hope) steadily correcting the perception problem they have. I'm convinced it can work out, and heck, if it doesn't, at least i will have had a good time watching the videos... Well, that leads us to the reason for the whole campaign.
