This has got to be the WORST commercial I have ever seen. And yes, it is a REAL product. Microsoft should fire the person who made this....
My favorite line from the commercial?
Microsoft huh? So it's pretty easy to use?
OOOOHHH... and a fun fact. That is a MacBook Pro (Apple) that the little girl is using. Note the tiny glowing apple stem from behind the middle sticker.
Too awesome.

Geh... that is possibly the worst singing I have ever heard. Throughout that ad I really wished there was
one of these hooked up to that MacBook Pro.
Anyway, are we sure it's not a spoof ad, even if it is a real product? I find it hard to believe MS would use an Apple product in one of their ads (even covered up).

I've seen 'em using MacBooks on the podium while giving presentations.

Sadly its a very real commercial. This was shown at the Microsoft area at CES. But its not the first time I seen Macs in commercials posing as PCs. There is this add for a program to "speed up" computers and it showed two macs in it. One of which was an older Mac laptop and it got the BSD...

No wonder MSFT reported lower earnings and their stock got hammered today. It has nothing to do with a recession; it's their freaking marketing!
On a more negative note: I want Songsmith now!
