Zune Mob II: Microsoft Store — Das Musical

Microsoft Store—Breaks Out Into Song

Grubers Ein-Wort-Kommentar zu diesem Clip auf Daring Fireball:

Jiminy.

Der Info-Text zu diesem YouTube-Video nebst verlinktem Blogeintrag “Microsoft Store in Mission Viejo” ist dazu auch eines der schönsten Beispiele für Astroturfing, das ich je gesehen habe.

Daraus drei Pretiosen:

This is an amazing store, the employees seem really excited and engaged, almost happy to be at work. My favorite parts are when people walking in the mall come inside the store, join in the dancing and have some fun. The amazing thing is that people are in the store for hours, they love interacting with the software and learning about new technology.

I guess I have been disconnected from the platform for quite a while because I did not even realize that Microsoft had store but I have heard so many great things about Windows 7 I just had to check it out. I half expected the store to be a bland uninspiring cheap knockoff of an Apple Store, but WOW was I in for a surprise. From the moment you first step through the door you can feel it, something is special, something is electric in the air. So many smiling faces, so many people engaged and fully committed to the experience and NO I am not just taking about the employees the nearly sixty shoppers in the store were having a riveting experience interacting with what is clearly the future.

I was absolutely floored by this experience, Microsoft has made a bold move to capture new market share. I ordered a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate edition – I have been a hard core Mac person for the past five years, I completely bypassed the Windows Vista experience but something is telling me that I am at a precipice looking directly into the future. Oh, and I just canceled my order for the 27inch iMac quad, I need a little time to think it over.

Ein Blogsöldner. Wie er leibt und lebt.

Das Video selbst erinnert mich ein bißchen an den Clip aus einem meiner ersten tongue-in-cheek-Beiträge auf dem Werbeblogger mit dem Titel „Microsoft geht Garage“ … auch immer wieder schön.
