Microsoft has just learned that sex sells

Check out this bizzare ad for Office XP on the Swiss MS site. I can see a whole world of bad jokes about the slogan 'An Unexpected Experience'. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject Admin)
Ah well, it just goes to prove that they are probably far to clever to work out obvious stuff. I guess it never occurred to them that the huge number of occurrences count they get in the search engine(s) when typing "sex" meant that people where interested in that sort of thing. Possible reasons: - They use search engines which screen that sort of thing. - Until now they thought that "Microsoft" is really the only topic that might significantly attract people's attention. The apparent intrest in the other thing was probably a bug or "feature" in the search engines. - Maybe they decided to hold off using that marketing strategy until they had something exciting to sell. Nevertheless it is true that one is never to old to learn no matter how long it takes. bye for now, Filip

I found the most interesting part the comment of The Register on this: Of course what the ad doesn't show you is that the man finds a hole in the bra, presses it and every other bit of clothing falls off, pants an all. Full article ----------------------------------------------------------------- If all you've got is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail.

Shouldn't that be a guy in prison bending over in the shower to pick up some soap with a bunch of guys that look like Bill Gates looking at his butt and winking at each other?

What the hell is everyone talking about. There is hardly a word there that I can understand and then I spent a fair amount of time clicking on various links and still no bra or anything.

According the theregister: "Seems that Microsoft has pulled the ad off its Web site. Don't know why. Not even happy with free publicity. Perhaps it has pulled it because the goblins in Redmond got in touch asking why it was an Mpeg file instead of Windows Media Player. Several readers were delighted to find the ad running automatically on QuickTime. Oh, and thank you to the approximately 200 people that emailed what the menu means. In this order: Help, Print Instructions, Open Immediately and Cancel." Cheers, Peter
