The History of Microsoft
It is funny because it is true.
Tip of the Day
Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.

Jesus, that was absolutely painfully stupid to watch. While there was a nice collection of funny Microsoft clips, the voiceover was absolutely over the top. Plus they missed out on the classic Bill Gates guest-star appearance in Doom: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1690609421579845295

so true!! microsoft suxx0rz big time! they're so dumb hahahahahaha look at that!!! apple pwnz micro$hit lol!
... uhm ... ok.....................
I expected a more subtle parody. But in the end this video is just the usual, plain, old and boring Microsoft-Bashing which really makes Mac-Users look outstandingly ignorant and simple-minded x_x;

This confirms my suspicions that Steve Balmer is a total moron. He looked like a meth head bouncing around on stage. Absolutely classic. :)

If I recall correctly, this was on the MacTV videocast not too long ago...

Are you sure Steve Ballmer isn't a monkey?

Yeah, I'm not one to bash Microsoft because I don't use it. If someone prefers that, then fine by me. If I am at Kinkos and have to use a Dell, THEN I'll bitch and moan about Windows. If someone asks why they should use a Mac, of course I'll point out the flaws of Windows. But I'm not going to force-feed my OS of choice to people -- then I'll be like those annoying religious people who bother my sleep every Sunday morning.
Fishes,
narco.

Ballmer is there an asylum missing an inmate, is there a zoo missing a primate?

Thought the video was funny. I too use both OS out of need for a paycheck, but at home am M$ free.
I think the culture statement by Jobs is important.
MS fans create hacks and viruses.
Apple fans create dorky videos.
Guess you have to choose which dorks one wants to associate with.

This was on mac TV a mac while back they also made a second version of it with more video clips. These have both been out for a while

Ken R,
You're right! Which means I just wasted a bunch of time downloading the video and converting it to QuickTime, when I already had it via my iTunes subscription to MacTV. It's called "MS History 2005." In addition to that, there's also an "MS History 2006" on the MacTV feed.

For those of you whining about the voice over... WTF? Do you not realize the significance of Vicki? Holy Toledo you missed the boat big time on that one.
