Vista TV Ads Leave me Confused!

Paul

Bill Gates and Vista Ad:

[ad]

So I’ve just got done watching this.  I wanted to point to show people this ad and ask people what the heck are they trying to do.  Is this like an epic AD start off where they have to meet each other first?  I don’t see any real relevance to Vista other than the end of the Commercial!  If I was Bill Gates I’d want to have a really good writer making sure there is some kind of relevance to Vista.  I can only hope they get better over time.  If they keep these this type of acting, these ads won’t get anyone to buy Vista let alone Windows!!

Defining Tomorrow Technology


Gary Comes on first. He talks about the coming of CES and what to expect. Talks about the 4 days of CES. Gary talks about Basic, don’t you remember how you use to use that to make programs by typing in commands one line at a time. Before Bill comes on, they sing “Do you believe in Magic” Showing you the products of Microsoft.

Hey all here’s what I’ve saw Bill talk about on his Keynote:

on the Screen was:

The Next Digital Decade
Video Bill Gates Last Day!!


Bill Balmer talks about his last day.
Kevin Turner also talks on the Video
Hillary Clinton has some humorous lines.




Bill talks about getting Software Driven information and making Website having richer and smoother look. He Also went into talk about the past about Handheld PC, and AutoPC and what is to come Media Room. Bill talks about the transition of him leaving his Job.

He then talks about software advances in eduction, and healthcare. He wants to connect people with application for all possible computer platforms with HD experiences and projections. He wants to make it an easily ways to connect people, and to use 3d Environments on the web. He talk about service sonnected ideas application driven and Natural User Interface (touch, speech, and sight). In which he wants to make it less intrusive and more better for people and easier to use.

Now here we come with Windows Platform and he talks about it being a building block. I’m to the point on Vista not being the best yet he thinks it will be a building block. All it’s been is trouble with a capital “T”. He wants to make windows Portable and Stylish. I don’t believe this but Bill talks about Windows Live and having 420 million users, I do know that is a lot of people but that is all just statistical.

Vista improvements and all — What Improvements

Mira Krammer comes on and talks about Windows Live. What you can do with live is Calendar events, photos, email address lookup, photo gallary Space, Video Searches and much more when it comes to Windows Live. Invites Bill to an Event and tells him to buy a snowboard.

Bill talks about Windows Live and how he can buy a Snowboard and how Silverlight has some unique Capabilities in that Aspect.

Bill talks Designing the NBC online Video 2008 Olympics and how that will impact our lives. MSN and NBC have teamed up to stream the Olympics 2008 using Silverlight as there platform of choice.

Robbie Bach then comes on stage talking about Vista and Windows Gaming. So here we are talking about Vista and is it a truely a gaming system. I think not we have been having problem with this from the get go. Directx 10 is not even working right, most games aren’t even capatible with Vista and they claim it’s a gaming system. Well I can go on longer but I have to get this done and go to sleep.

He then talks about ABC and Disney that will be on XBOX 360 Live. He talks about the Movie company MGM studios will be on XBOX Live (Rocky and Terminator and many more). He goes on to talk about Mediacenter Extender through TV and the XBOX. He wants to tell us Samsung and HP have come into making new Extenders for Microsoft as a 3rd party maker. Robbie talks about MediaRoom having 1 million television screens on its service. I Like the idea but I think it could be better. He talks about how DVR anywhere will help you watch Showtime, TNT, and CNN and that the British Telecom will incorporate XBOX360 and make it a settop box.

Bill talks about the Zune but I missed that part. so we will skip and go to the next part.

The Future of Microsoft, which is Visual Recognition. Bill shows us how it will be used in the future and that is so amazing. Oh and Robbie Owes Bill 20 bucks and they have a Guitar dual.

Robbie brings on TipperQueen Kelly Lion, the Guitar Hero queen who won from the game.

Bill of course has to out do him so he brings on Slash Velvet Revolver and guess who wins!!

Hope you enjoyed this little information of what they talked about!! I know I did!! Yes I’ve got it wrong, sorry Barb, I was half asleep. 😉
