Video parodies Microsoft’s vision of the future

May 25, 2009 | Paul Boutin | Comments |

You’re working today? Kick back with IGN’s saracastic re-narration of a Microsoft blue-sky video we blogged a while back. My favorite aspect of this utopia is it runs two and a half minutes without a layoff.

    The guy sounds like a douche. Sounds like the standard Apple fanboy that loves to take stabs at Microsoft, with the usual "holier-than-thou" attitude.

    and beat you with the bass a** paper. ya, it continues on the wave of Microsoft the big-bad company. :/ I don't know though...some of the latest things like Win 7, Office 2009, and Zune's UI and Zune Pass have been really really good.

    I have to say that some of those things in the video are really cool....though I agree with the sarcastic remark that it will be the far far future close to never that we will ever see tech like this. :(
