Office 2004 ads
With the availability of for Mac just weeks away, Microsoft today revealed its new print advertising campaign that will start appearing this month. "Each of the campaign's print ads convey that even deep inside the most imaginative professional there is still an inner type A personality who wants to work smarter."
The three print ads were created by McCann-Erickson San Francisco and photographed by Erwin Olaf of Amsterdam. Olaf also photographed the popular Heineken and Diesel ads. The Office 2004 print ads include the following themes:
forward to expenses, presentations and memos, the Other You eats 'em for
breakfast.
while the other you runs it by your boss, the client and legal.
the Other You gains a reputation as a serious go-getter.
Huh?

Is this a belated April Fools' Joke?
Well, no, I guess not. Hmm...this reminds me of Dilbert marketing jokes...Scott Adams didn't write these for fun, did he?
Did people actually get paid to think up this ****?

I don't think it is an april fools jokes. Microsoft is trying too hard to be funny and hip. their ads suck and their segments during developer expos are laughable not in the way ms wants but that they are pathetic. * anyone remember the matrix thing?

Yeah iLife for the rest of your life. Once again the only good thing that Microsoft can do is copy Apple (and this time Steve Jobs personally).
One of these days MS is going to shock the world and actually come up with an idea. It probably won't be much but the world will stand still, Michael Dell will claim to have started Microsoft and Apple will release Mac OS LXIII right on time still several years ahead of Longlonglonglonghorn.
