Microsoft Created It's Own iPod Packaging Spoof
iPod Observer reports Microsoft was behind the creation of the iPod packaging spoof we had here earlier that slammed Microsoft for its overuse of design elements, snips and other call outs on it's packagaing. The video spoof demonstrated what an iPod package would look like if it came from Microsoft. Microsoft spokesman Tom Pilla told iPod Observer, "It was an internal-only video clip commissioned by our packaging [team] to humorously highlight the challenges we have faced RE: packaging and to educate marketers here about the pitfalls of packaging/branding,"
Nothing this funny, whether created internally or externally, is able to be contained. While the video has been removed from YouTube, you can view it at Google Video.

what the fuck?
"its" isn't the same as "it's"...
I don't pay any attention to what you say if you can't express yourself correctly (which is a shame as your newsletter is top)
if needed, go back to 5th grade until you learn to spell...
Chris McCarthy seems fun.
I think this video was hysterical and a good way to let the package designers let off steam.
I wonder if they made this video on a Mac ;)
Chris M. needs a hug, Steve.
This video was hilarious. Goes to show that you just can't take yourself too seriously.
It's all part of Ballmer's campaign to humanize the Big M.
