The commercials are similar to the software giant's "laptop hunter" set of adverts that aired during the Vista days of 2009. The new commercials, named "real time trials", are a set of Internet flash commercials that pit Windows Phones against rival devices. Advertising agency Crispin Porter + Bogusky was commissioned in December to create the commercials specifically for use in web advertising. The commercials are set to make their way to a number of high profile Internet sites in the coming months."</em></p><p><object width="600" height="360" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/8v9oe8v1lK0&feature=player_embedded&ap=%26fmt=18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8v9oe8v1lK0&feature=player_embedded&ap=%26fmt=18" /></object></p><p>It's an interesting ad, that's for sure - it highlights what Microsoft feels Windows Phone 7 is good at, and is an extension of the "a phone to save us from our phones" campaign. So what do you think: does it show Windows Phone 7 in a positive light? Will people care?</p>
