Microsoft needs to get its Ads department in order, first there were the images used in Zune Social ads that looked like orgy pics and not people listening to their music on Zune and now it’s the Vista SP1 promo video. The music video is “Rockin’ Our Sales” by Bruce ServicePack and the Vista Street Band, come on Microsoft if people in your ads department are this dumb, fire them instantly. The video is so bad that people planning to buy Vista will run away after seeing it.

Update: Microsoft’s representative says “This video was a spoof, they thought folks internally would get a kick out of not taking themselves so seriously all the time, but some people thought that’s exactly what they were being serious.” If a company’s representative has to announce that a video is spoof, just imagine how much damage it would have caused to the company’s image. Even as a spoof video this was really bad Microsoft.
