Microsoft Launches “I’m a PC” Ads

by GadgetManiac on September 18, 2008


The new Microsoft ads are here…no more quirky humor, ambiguity or soft sell and much more to the point. The new ad series is entitled “I’m a PC”…there’s no Seinfeld, minimal Gates, but rather some 3-second clips of maybe 20 people saying repeatedly I’m A PC.

More info, better vids and some MSFT explanation at Microsoft PressPass.

…however, it’s mildly disconcerting to see a high-tech company like Microsoft use spiritualist Deepak Chopra in its commercials, he of quantum mechanical healing fame. But then again, they also have Eva Longoria, who partly compensates for that.

Good for Microsoft. A great way to take a perecived weakness and turn it into a strength.

Yeah, I’d say Eva Longoria could compensate for a lot of things.

I’ve always been partial to straightforward ads over quirky ones.
