Really Creepy Zune-McDonald's Ad Shows Just How Out of Touch Microsoft Is

Published by on September 16, 2008

So it looks like Microsoft needs to hire Crispin+Porter to do all of their advertising, whether it be TV or print, and this ad for the Zune partnership with McDonald’s is more evidence.

Why Microsoft, are you releasing such an anemic Zune offering? This thing has no browser, it’s impossible to browse the Internet, it has no touch-screen (which should be a good thing), and every ad you put out makes the Zune look even worse.

Why don’t you spend more time porting Windows XP onto a mobile device, it will be more stable, and will have endless amounts of 3rd-party developers already built-in. I love to run Windows 98 games to relive my childhood, why not cut out the MIME emulator and do it yourself.
