Video: History of the Internet according to MS

by Peter Ha on March 20, 2009

You know, I have to give props to Microsoft’s ad agency Bradley and Montgomery for a hilarious new ad promoting IE8. It’s full of celebrities poking fun at the Internet with intermittent sprinklings of IE8 that don’t overwhelm and bore you like other MS ads. Kudos all around. Happy YouTube Friday!

Yes.

But developers hate IE, and already hate IE8 too. So it won’t do them much good…

OK fair enough, not many people like IE after they’ve tasted a bit of Chrome and Firefox. But that is one good video. Probably my favourite M$ commercial ever. The dude who figured out what private mode was in mid sentence had me in stitches.

One good video…? Are you all stuck in a postmodern joke that I am not getting?

This vid is dreadful and has no sense other than challenge my trust in Crunchgear’s articles when it says ‘Kudos all around’.
Congrats you just wasted 5:14 of my life which I will never get back.

Amazing video. Especially part with secret browsing.
