Microsoft burns our eyes with Vista promo video

It's official, Microsoft knows no shame. We used to think that the Zune tattoo guy was bad for publicity, but now it's clear that the video promo team needs zero outside help in dragging whatever shred of dignity this company has through the mud. Whoever thought up this Bruce Springsteen-defiling "Rockin' Our Sales" piece of garbage to promote the launch of Vista SP1 should be fired instantly and sued for defamation. It's just that good. Video is naturally after the break.

OMG - it's just a "spoof." For a second there, I thought it was actually a new Springsteen video. I'm so relieved! ----- and that's the best spin that the entire Windows Client Communications team can come up with? Kevin - we need to meet with these folks on Monday, but you may want to check Gizmodo before we do - and don't forget to call your buddies at Flagler Productions.

I'm a big man, but that video seriously frightened me. Like somewhere in the middle of it, I wanted to go lie down, curl up into a ball and suck my thumb.
