Giampaolo, well, who knows what the hell he was looking for; he certainly had no idea.
I completely agree, and what I think is striking is that no one, from the subject, the video director, editors and microsoft seem to have picked up on it.

It's like watching an ad of a guy who wants a rugged pair of blue jeans, at a good price and comes away with a great deal on khaki corduroy pants, and says, "I am picky!".

This just goes back to my original point (#4) in the discussion after the Lauren ad about confusion in buying a PC. I mean, here's a guy who said what he wanted, went to stores, got confused, and got none of what he set out for. But it must be so accepted among PC buyers that they made an ad out of it like nobody would notice or even find it remarkable.

If that doesn't make a case for a streamlined product line, I don't know what does.
