Microsoft Attacks Google with new commercials

[winny3141]

Here is Microsoft totally attacking Google. First it was Scroogled, where Microsoft allegedly claimed that Google took content from Gmail user's email accounts, and used it to advertise to certain products to that individual in order to make more money. Now, its all about Google Docs having compatibility issues with Office 2013 documents as well as Google Docs lacking features, like Spell check. I like Microsoft as a company, I mean Windows is my favorite operating system, but is this going to far? Or is this Microsoft getting the message out about their Office suite of how it is superior to Google' s solution to businesses? Tell me what you think guys!

 

Here is Microsoft's commercial about Google Docs being a "gamble" (It's unlisted by the way, which is kind of weird)

Here is the commercial of Google Docs not being a "Team Player" (This one is listed!)

Lol, Google Docs may not have spell check but Google Chrome does, as well as Windows has a built in spell check.

[Henry]

Microsoft just pulled an Apple on Google :P

[joelthezombie15]

lol okay MS 

[Owen]

Wow, that's so lame! Not to mention they are using YouTube, a Google product, to diss them out

[Guest Teddybear]

Google docs is excellent at previewing documents before actually downloading them... Yeah, this shows how lame Microsoft really is..

[XiaoPigs]

Microsoft why don't you spend your money on actually making a better OS and improving them, instead spending them on spreading lies. Listen to your customers please -___-

[Blade of Grass]

Microsoft stopping EAing.

[rustikles]

It would be very nice if the Microsoft ad department would please spend less time on the trash talk, and give me a legitimate reason to choose Microsoft products over Google equivalents. Changing the public view of Windows 8 could be a good goal too!

[ShiverMePenguins]

LOL both were so funny. and as someone in the corporate environment google docs DOES fail quite often.

This.

[Peopie]

who is the guy at the end of the first video?

[Markus]

Very bad marketing by MS...

[Lycr]

"I don't work well without the net, so I'm taking it with me"

 

Hah, that pun got me.

[Nicktrance]

I have to say I have to agree that I prefer Office over Docs... even though I use Google Drive to sync those docs, I think Google Docs is more useful for many people who just want to do some simple word processing.

But his whole campaign are just childish, as much money as they can currently afford to throw at it, Google doesn't seem to care and it doesn't bode well for ~Microsoft in the long run, not to mention they are trying to compare a free service to a paid one...

Yup,

Try explaining to someone who put hours into a document that it is gone (or horribly debilitated) because they saved an office 2013 doc into Google docs to edit it at home.  This happened so many times, and people have lost so many hours I know block accounts.google.com via our proxy to prevent it from happening again.

Used to love Google, but now I think I'd rather deal with Apple and that says a lot because I hate Apple.

I know, funny right? I didn't think of it that way. Anyway, here is my conclusion; if you want an something free, go with Google Docs. But, please, do not store Microsoft Documents on Google Drive. They will never come out the way you want them to, and since Office 365 is integrated so well with SkyDrive, why don't you use SkyDrive? When I was reading about the article that analysed these commercials, I also stumbled upon the fact that SkyDrive got a huge upgrade, and file uploads are like 3X faster, on site itself and Windows Phone 8 app. If you want cloud storage for your Microsoft office documents, use that. And 7 GB of cloud storage, how could you pass that up?

[Spannerhands]

Think its funny that they feel the need to justify themselves over a free service......

[SSOB]

Microsoft needs to do this with every company lol

[Matsy]

I personally don't see the 'point' in google docs over office 

 

:huh:

[nath10597]

I don't think they are trying to annoy Google or stop people using Google Docs as much as tying to put the point across that there is still a need for Office and that it's still available.

[T345]

Google will probably laugh, I did.

[mgsstar]

Google Docs isn't that bad unlike Microsoft Office which is a paid product.

[SSOB]

Google Docs = Bad

Google Drive = Frickin awesome , it integrates so well with my TF300T Just so well interrated , can't say the same with skydrive

[Fonil]

haven't had any problems with docs to docs.
