Office 2010 the Movie: Finally, a Microsoft ad that doesn't suck
We were fans of watching Bill Gates pal around with Seinfeld as much as anyone else, but the ads didn't have any punch. It's been a long time since we've seen a commercial flying the Microsoft flag that didn't make us wince.
Then came along Dennis Liu's "Office 2010: The Movie." It's like an Office-branded Matrix-meets-Mission Impossible, and, hey, you know what? I'd watch this if it was in theaters. The plot of a rogue font gumming up the works sounds just as plausible as what your average action flick offers, and this tickles all my geeky funny bones.
Check out the ad below.

Clippy will not be missed! I seriously hope that he never shows his face again, in office and\or home again!

LOL the F22's flying over. Sounds like Michael Bay has his next directing job all lined up.

Greatest Microsoft Ad EVER! Brilliant! I really enjoyed that a lot. That's the sort of ads people will sit and watch and laugh their arse off at. Really well done.

the only thing i'll miss about clippy is being able to turn him into a bycicle and other random shapes... it provided me with procrastination, when i had nothing else...
apart from that he pissed me off... ¬¬
