Strong Packaging Goes Micro-soft

YouTube has a genius parody up right now. Shows the way Microsoft would redesign the beatifully simplistic and effective iPod packaging. You gotta see this thing. The best part is, it’s SPOT ON. Go there now.

This video, while parody, neatly summarizes everything I find obnoxious about the marketing of PC-based products.

Wow.
#2 Gary says:
Now someone only has to show how Microsoft would *engineer* the iPod. :*)

According to a followup from Scoble, that video was originally created within Microsoft for an internal Marketing meeting. Considering that they’ve been working on changing at least the external manifestations of the Microsoft Way, I’d wager this video was supposed to be shout out to their marketing folks showing just how the “creep” can crawl its way to crap.
