Microsoft has, today, pulled a video it posted Friday entitled ” A fly on the wall in Cupertino” in which two actors present to “T”, aka a fictitious TIm Cook (which is this video actually looks more like Steve Jobs), what they’ve been working on leading up to last week’s Apple iPhone event.

The video has been pulled from official channels but still floats around and can be viewed. Of the video, Microsoft issued a statement which read,”The video was intended to be a light-hearted poke at our friends from Cupertino. But it was off the mark, and we’ve decided to pull it down.”

There were seven videos in all. All have been pulled.

The ad (from multiple sources in case one gets pulled):
