Microsoft shoots back at Google

Marco Eis

Hi guys

 

 

This just popped up on my subscription feed on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wAgB5J1gSQ

 

It's apparently a new campaign from Microsoft, with the slogan "Don't get Scroogled", where they are attacking Googles' Chromebook OS.

 

 

It’s obvious that it’s an attack on Google making it harder for Microsoft, by not being able to have official apps for YouTube or Gmail on Windows Phone.

The "don't get scroogled" campaign has been posted a couple of times, and has been mentioned on the WAN Show prior.

Yeah! WTF with RT?! Why did they not just make Windows 8 on phones and tablets so you could run your normal x86 programs. Then they would have a huge app collection from start. On that you can then build on with phone adapted programs.

Its not, they're 2 different videos.

Ok, at school again. Saw the video, it was quite stupid.

That is my new favorite video now. Going to download it soon because I have a feeling they will take it down soon.

Again, Microsoft's marketing department is terrible. This only makes themselves look bad. If they want to win a fight like this, promote your own product in a way that it is better than the competitions. Don't use Siri to make apple look bad, show all the functionality a windows tablet offers. Some of the newer ads are better like the whole switching to windows campaign but most of this is really terrible.

The thing about Windows RT is if Microsoft thinks that's what 99% people only need they why are they attacking the Chromebook, its cheaper and it updates are frequent.

Cry Havoc!
