I don’t know if you’ve seen the latest Internet Explorer 8 ad from Microsoft which is so tasteless and disgusting that’s left me speechless after watching it the other day. This however is not the only ad from Microsoft that sucks. The series of online advertisements from Microsoft we’ve see in the past few months were actually so bad that they were an issue of many discussions online. What Microsoft is trying to do is to copy Apple and their “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” series of ads that are very successful and funny to watch. Below are some of the Microsoft ads so you can judge for yourself.
Internet Explorer 8 vomit ad
Microsoft pricing ad
Jerry Seinfeld & Bill Gates ad

Yeah it is interesting how Microsoft can spend so much money on advertising and have a hard time getting it right. I think they would be better served by having a contest where fans could create their own adds and pick the one that seems to go most viral. It would certainly be cheaper, even though their advertising budget probably hardly matters to them!
