Microsoft stunt sends wrong message
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has to ask itself why it needs to do something like the Mojave
| Experiment in the first place.
|
| [...]
|
| Doesn't anyone at Microsoft realize that showing up ignorant users in
| the "Mojave Experiment" video is not only humiliating, and that revealing how
| off-base the public perception is that the company also humiliates itself?
| Public perception is supposed to be managed by Microsoft, not the critics or
| the competition.

Microsoft's New Vista Ads Don't Work; Other Companies' "We Suck" Ads Did
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft's bait-and-switch campaign for Vista, the "Mojave Experiment," is
| baffling. I was dumbstruck when I first saw it earlier this week, and I
| continue to be dumbstruck. Why base a campaign around the core assumption
| that everyone thinks your product sucks, and that people who have felt
| wronged by Vista are ignorant fools?
