Microsoft’s Advertising Agency review has new line item
November 27, 2007
We caught wind that Microsoft’s search for an Ad Agency has another line item in the request.
To spin this report from C|Net
New tests have revealed that Windows XP with the beta
Service Pack 3 has twice the performance of Vista,
even with its long-awaited Service Pack 1.
Full Story
This is not a joke, our sources have stated that this was actually noted as one of the requirements.
The source will NOT go on record. He stated that he will go on record to deny that this was even mentioned should it be discovered that this was leaked to the press.
Our belief however that no Ad Agency on earth could spin that report in a positive light.
How could a Public Relations firm spin this? “You pay out the wazoo in hardware requirements and performance to have the honour of owning one of our 6 versions of insane licensing agreements of Vista that is a step backwards for your productivity”
You can’t spin that.. you can’t even try.
Our understanding is that the advertising budget is set at roughly $300 million dollars.
Part of that $300 million will be to say that Vista is an upgrade and not a downgrade from XP.
