Para mim não houve erro nenhum nem Seinfeld foi despedido: estava tudo previsto.
Não deve ter sido (despedido).Para mim não houve erro nenhum nem Seinfeld foi despedido: estava tudo previsto.
exacto.. outra mensagem subentendida..Achei bem o anuncio para acabar com o estereotipo que colocaram a volta dos pc users.
Enfim, nunca gostei dos anuncios da Apple e estes da Microsoft também vão para o mesmo saco...

Update: Diversos sites e blogs estão noticiando a nova campanha. Até mesmo os participantes de um dos principais fóruns de usuários de produtos da Apple estão elogiando a nova campanha da Microsoft. Muitos deles acham que é uma boa resposta à Apple, que a propaganda é genial e criativa, que é a melhor propaganda da Microsoft já feita, que é despretensiosa e mostra a realidade das pessoas no mundo usarem Windows diariamente, que "humaniza" o Windows, etc etc etc..

Subscrevo na totalidade. Devo dizer que até estava a gostar da ideia de ter sido fintado e do ponto de vista de marketing diria que eles foram extremamente inteligentes em pegar no que toda a gente esperava deles... e não o fazer.Afinal parece que estava errado quando pensei que a Microsoft ia tentar inovar nesta campanha, e não seguir pela mesma linha dos "Get a Mac" (ataque directo, "I'm a PC", "I'm a PC", "I'm a PC").
Os anúncios com o Gates e com o Seinfeld estavam a ir numa direcção bem mais definida a partir do segundo (o primeiro só por si não fazia lá grande sentido em termos de "click"), se a Microsoft tivesse continuado nessa linha provavelmente teria feito bem melhor. Foram dois anúncios estranhos, mas era aí que estava o genial, pois mostrava um ambiente mais quotidiano (ao contrário dos "Get a Mac", por exemplo).
Assim, parece que voltaram a dar cabeçadas na parede. Bem me parecia que estava a ser bom demais.
Fonte: Roughly Drafted MagazineAfter dumping its $10 million contract with Jerry Seinfeld after just three ads (only two of which even aired) Microsoft has created new ad copy where regular people and a few celebrities say, “I’m a PC!” One problem with the campaign’s credibility: the ad work was created using Macs.
.
Flickr user LuisDS found that metadata on the creative copy of the “stereotyped PC user” and other photos appearing on Microsoft’s “I’m a PC” website revealed that they were produced using Macs running Adobe Creative Suite 3. One might expect that Microsoft would use Windows PCs running its own Microsoft Expression Studio software, which as the company advertises, “takes your creative possibilities to a new level.”
Apparently, neither Windows PCs nor Expression Studio are up to the task of taking on Apple and destroying its globe enshrouding “Get a Mac” campaign. The image of John Hodgman as a troubled PC struggling with Vista-related problems has pushed Microsoft to defend itself with a $300 million campaign to take control of the “conversation about Windows,” using Macs as needed to get the message produced.
When LuisDS checked on the photos again this morning after publishing the metadata details on Flickr last night, he found that Microsoft has scrubbed the revealing details from the work, an effort that also resulted in the 272 KB photo ballooning to 852 KB.
Ja sairam mais 3 comerciais:
Hello, I'm a PC and I've been made into a stereotype

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2329941,00.aspAre the New Microsoft Ads About Kinky Sex?
Scenario: Two guys meet in a shoe store. The one guys offers a churro to the other—an obvious phallic symbol, possibly a code word. The guy refuses. So the guy with the churro starts to massage the other guy's foot, and asks about what he's feeling. The guy who relented at first says a definite code word: "leather." The two look furtively at each other for an uncomfortably long time. They scene is just short of a wink taking place. One mentions "showering" with clothes on. The next thing you know the twosome, now each holding rigid churros, walk off together. One asks the other to adjust his underwear as a "sign."
Now if this isn't some sadomasochistic, kinky pickup scene then what's the point? There is too much symbolism and footsy for this to be anything other than a tryst waiting to happen. Perhaps it is a parody of the "Mac versus PC" ads, which may have homoerotic overtones that nobody has considered, and this is Microsoft's way of asking, "What's with those two guys, anyway?"
........
So what's next in the series? One conjecture has it that they'll redo the old Seinfeld set, and Gates will visit and comment on the Mac that Jerry owned. Derisive remarks will ensue. But showing up at the old apartment invites further exploration of the S&M kinky-sex context I mentioned. Why would Bill Gates go to Jerry Seinfeld's apartment? I didn't get the impression that the two of them were in Manhattan in the first commercial.
Another idea is to put Bill and Jerry in a car—similar to the old Ballmer and Gates fake advertisement where they drove around to berate Sun Microsystems. Jerry and Bill could drive around and make fun of things. But why would they be driving off together in the first place? Generally speaking, each would have his own car at the mall. Let's assume one walked there. So one would have to ask the other whether he'd like a "ride," which again has innuendo built in. It's going to be difficult for them to work their way out of this structure they've created, once you see the kinky-sex angle.
I could be wrong about all this, and I assume that nobody is doing this overtly—it's just coming out on its own from some subconscious source at Microsoft. All I hope for is that we never see either of those guys in leather with a whip. It would be an unpleasant image.
