This is obviously "directed" to some extent - it's not like a camera crew would ambush a family on the way into Best Buy and randomly find people who want to be in a commercial. But I've heard no evidence that they're scripted insofar as Microsoft is telling them what to say, or that they're actors - with one exception. That very first commercial with Lauren - it turns out she's an actress:

I don't think any of that makes the commercials any less legitimate - or certainly no worse than the FUD-filled Apple commercials.
