I know for those who knows me it's a pretty weird title, sorry for that, but I have found a few things recently that made me think that something is coming. Watch it on The Telegraph website. It's a 6 minutes video, but don't cry, just watch the first minute or whatever time you can support that.

There's something interesting in that video. Go to exactly 0:55 and listen for 10 seconds. You can clearly hear a voice over saying "call customer service if you have any questions". I can't imagine that's not made on purpose. It's too strange. Maybe not as strange as the comedians, overplaying all the time, or the fact that you can see a geek, a granny, a housewife and a black dude acting like crazy party animals (duh), but still.

The author of that article didn't liked it but its quite possible that it's exactly what Microsoft wants. Because they are used to be on the bottom of the list when it's about to be the coolest kid in town. So why not saying "yeah we used to suck, laugh at us while you can, but we are coming". Maybe I'm totally wrong there, but if that's the plan, it's very clever.

I was even more convinced of that theory when I watched the second video. It's so weird. It seems like Steve Balmer himself did it on crack. And that's exactly what geeks like. And the stats proves it : more than 700'000 views. 2nd most viewed video on sciences / technology. Only men between 24 and 55, which means obviously geeks. And if there was a need for another proof, look at how happy they are at CNET.

And even more than that: I just spend 20 minutes to write about Microsoft, and quite positively, and you also spent around the same time reading that if you watched the videos!
