Microsoft launched the first Vista commercial. I watched it a couple of times, and bland is the only word I can come up with. For an OS that has been so long coming, this is very anti-climatic indeed. Especially considering everybody is going to make comparisons with Apple’s style of advertising.

It’s saying nothing, literally. Just a bunch of equally proportioned diverse (manual in hand, no doubt) shiny happy people jumping around, careless, happy, soo individual, while some bullet points flow over the screen. The music too, is uninspiring. At least Windows 95 had the Stones with Start Me Up (below).

Same message, way better execution.
