Say what you will about the some of the business practices of Microsoft, but they do know how to get the attention of their foundational consumer – us scifi geeks.
In an advertisement for Microsoft’s Visual Studio 2005 the company asks the question:
Why debugging matters?
The Answer: Cylons
It can be seen on the SciFi.com website as a sidebar.
I wonder if they are implying something here? Do you think that Bill, instead of being a Borg, is in fact a human form Cylon? Surely Ballmer is. What else would explain the way he acts on stage other than some faulting wiring…
Does this mean that MS is going to start debugging it’s software? Or are they trying to tell us that XP is actually a cylon?
That has got to be the most ironic statement in the history of advertising! 😉
