The latest Microsoft “Laptop Hunters” commercial: all it’s missing is a puppy

New in heavy rotation is the latest Laptop Hunter "You find it, you keep it" Microsoft PC television commercial…

As Steve noted, this time Matt and Olivia are looking for a laptop under $700 and "Windows Photo Galley gets a high five in this ad and eventually they walk out with a HP dv7."

As they say, you can’t go wrong with happy families, babies and puppies in commercials, and this one is just a step away from that ultimate level of cuteness. The bumper at the end of the commercial: "We’re a PC, because we can share photos with this little guy."

Video of the new Zune HD in action, courtesy of Gizmodo

On the news today is this blog post from the Seattle PI about how the folks at Gizmodo got a demo of the new Zune HD, "Microsoft’s answer to Apple’s iPod Touch, set to be released this fall".

Zune HD Video Hands On from Gizmodo on Vimeo.

Very cool. I do think that there is a market for the small form factor 4/8GB units, of which I am fond (next to our tried and true 30GBs).

Videos: Steve Ballmer and Bill Gates speak at the Microsoft CEO Summit 2009

A quick post: Of interest is the coverage and videos this week from the Microsoft CEO Summit 2009 this week at the Microsoft Conference Center in Redmond, where our groups hosted more than 100 CEOs.

This clip features Steve Ballmer as he "discusses the state of innovation in technology and future industry growth as IT departments continue to embrace the Internet."

 

A favourite clip is this of Bill Gates as he outlines how we might emerge from the current economic recession.
