I was writing about it few days ago, so more examples of Microsoft's ads you can find here: http://blog.karolzielinski.com/microsoft-ad-its-really-good There are few good Microsoft’s ads… but still most of them are not so good.

I do say in the post that I'm not sure that the first video is an actual commercial or a joke. In the Lauren ad, I think most people would think that Microsoft is implying that they are interviewing a random person that was selected to participate in a "contest". Would the typical person assume that Microsoft hired an actor to pretend to be participating in a contest. Of course not. I'm not saying they are lying by editing the ad, but they are being misleading and inauthentic. Thanks for the comment.

It's 4+ minutes long, so I'm not sure what the distribution would be. It reads like some kind of internal proof-of-concept video that leaked. the second video is too much of an obvious troll. Do we honestly not understand that "Lauren" is an actress, and the final product is an edited video? Odd to equate MS "lying" with "shooting and editing a commercial." It's not like it claims to be an objective documentary anywhere... Strange post, overall. not sure why you’re calling the first vid a commercial at all.

Strange post, overall.
