Canon, P.I. – Microsoft Tries Viral Again

2009 May 8

Historically, when Microsoft tries to do creative or viral commercials and promotional videos, it has been met with mixed results.

Some folks love it that Microsoft is stepping out of its comfort zone and trying new things. Other folks hate it just because they bare an illogical hate for anything Microsoft. Most folks are somewhere in the middle.

Whatever, I love the fact the Microsoft is doing viral stuff.

Yes, I do work for Microsoft, but I’m speaking objectively – I just love viral videos and creative marketing campaigns, period. I love it when big boring corporations flaunt their creative muscle and don’t mind making fun of themselves once in a while.

Anyway, here is Microsoft’s latest viral video – the first part of a series of episodes promoting Microsoft’s Web Platform. Check it out!
