I could watch microsoft office demos all day. Microsofts marketers missed a huge opportunity by not running huge ads in the wall street journal with a list of product features... wait I changed my mind i will take the dinos. yes showing examples of microsoft office are really compelling.

First off, Microsoft doesn't provide the reader with any compelling reason to upgrade to a new version of Office. If they actually showed an example of how to do something better in a new version that would be more compelling. Powerpoint itself is a dinosaur of a program, or a "corpse of a program" as said by John C. Dvorak in PC Magazine recently. Plus, Word still doesn't handle even numbered lists correctly. I think tech-savvy readers look at the ads and say, "I'll upgrade when you give me a real reason to upgrade." I think the MS Dinosaur ads are awful.

There's definitely a market space for ad critics like yourself. The ads you've reviewed are definitely relevant as I've seen most of them too, even though I don't read as much magazines or watch as much TV as most people. - Kevin <a href="http://[http://theory.isthereason.com]" rel="nofollow">[http://theory.isthereason.com]</a> Well done!
