Notice that most of the demonstration phase of the interview was spent looking at hardware, including a Dell notebook that looked like a MacBook Air though wider in the hips and a significant part of the discussion involved Apple.
At least no one could accuse AI of orchestrating the interview (could they?)!
Matt Lauer and Al Roker are bigtime Apple fans. I've seen Lauer in the Apple store. Roker loves his iPhone.
Microsoft has also paid for a Windows 7-centric special episode of the Fox animated comedy "Family Guy." Entitled "Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show," it will air commercial-free on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 8:30 p.m. EST and PST.
I just watched the Steve Ballmer interview on MSNBC with Matt Lauer. They pulled out the Dell version of the MacBook Air and Ballmer went on about how light it was.
I would have given anything if someone could have asked him if it had a DVD drive after Ballmer pissed on the Air at MIX.
I actually wouldn't mind trying that Whopper..... whoppers are so good...
wouldn't mind trying out Windows 7 either. Will probably upgrade my XP install on the desktop to 7 to keep up with the times (now how many years behind OS X?). Not sure what to do with my XP partition on the MBP, but I haven't booted in there for over a year because of Windows authentication issues.
I suspect Windows 7 will be a success for MS regardless of how good/crappy it is. There is a mentality building for people that "it's about time to upgrade my windows", just have to get them to think OS X instead
Microsoft - the fast-food vendor equivalent in the software world:
Software which satisfies your immediate needs, but leaves you with indigestion due to poor usability, frequent (sugar) crashes, and eventual clogging of the arteries requiring bypass surgery (the need to reinstall your OS due to eventually bogging your computer down to a crawl/causing system instability).
Clearly the person in charge of the Windows 7 marketing program is a complete dolt or hates Microsoft and is trying to sabotage the product. Windows "Parties", Whoppers and Cartoons??? Seriously, what the hell is going on at Microsoft?
Is this "marketing" supposed to influence business owners to dump XP?
Seriously, what the hell is going on at Microsoft?
Ballmer and crew are the real "The Men who stare at Goats"!

Maybe MS can get the MS choir of past commercials and sing the new and improved BK MS song...
It goes something like this...
"Hold the Malware, Hold the Viruses,
Win 7 Registrations will just mire us.
All we ask is that you let us
c:/ crash it our way
Call a Guru, call them today.
Call a Guru, call them today...."
MS Gurus available at all two MS stores...

commercial-free??? so promoting W7 is what?
So what did they do when Windows 95 was released?
become an official IT cancer
Ballmer actually seemed pretty tame on the Today Show!
Right? but you could see he's holding back- ready to let loose. Can you imagine him today at 3pm? then happy hour? what an animal!
That's such a bad symbolism. Eat it and throw up?
Burger King and Microsoft... Both will give you severe diarrhea.
And I thought only me and my son get food poisoning every time we eat at Burger King!

Is it just me or does this Windows guru look a bit like Kim Jong-Il?
Or maybe the illegitimate love child of Kim Jong-Il and Mt. T.

I think Steve Jobs dumped some bad LSD in the Redmond water supply.
Windows 7: The best in junk software!
Since I'm sure he travels by corporate jet, fortunately we'll never have that experience.
What's next? Strip Clubs? Truck stops? Oh! I get it. Laundromats!
