My obsession with Windows Home Server is well documented, so naturally I check the team blog regularly. After a long gap I finally checked it again today to find a post about the Stay at Home Server ad campaign. While the acting in the clips is horribly cheesy, I'll write it off as their attempt to reach the average consumer, which went horribly wrong. Fortunately the most amusing part doesn't have any actors to make you cringe; enjoy Mommy, Why Is There a Server In The House?User Comments for 12-17-2007:
 | Because a majority of people are uneducated about computers I'm sure this still confuses them however at least it's at their level, gotta start from somewhere.... Sorry I'm in a PO mood I just finished a 10 hr day dealing with our HR people in making an Intranet site for work, I had to explain to them for 45mins what a "link" and how users will know it's a link because it's blue text with a underline.

 | In related news, Steve "Senator" Kelly was arrested for going postal on several HR workers. One survivior commented that it was a "bloodbath" and that Steve kept hacking at peoples heads with a machete saying "do you get the link now bitch?" MorlockPrime |
| LOL for a second there I thought you were Ron... You all look the same to me, Candians and Morlocks are both hairy Stavos |
 | One thing Microsoft doesn't do well--never has, in fact--is relate with the average consumer. MS takes a hardline approach that it's customer base is all-geek, and thus should "get" all the reasons you need their products.
Apple on the other hand does that extremely well--and MS should take note and try something like that. Just take a look at how "untechnical" the Pc/Mac TV spots are. brian |
| Those Pc/Mac TV spots are very obscured, and misleading. So a PC can only create spread sheets, not photo's or video edit, and can't network with other OS'? If anything they misinform the general public. Stavos |
| Who the hell invited brian to make a legitimate comment about the post? You know I took a crap the other day and before I flushed, I thought I saw Stavos in the toilet. Stavos and turd look so alike. MorlockPrime |
| Just to clarify, Stavos is just pretend turd, Brian is a real turd for ruining our comment fun. MorlockPrime |
| I for one welcome my new pretend [turd] status, and will use it efficient as possible! Stavos |
| Sounds like you're also welcoming your new bald Morlock overlords. MorlockPrime |
