Microsoft Windows 95 TV Ad – We’ve Come Along Way

This is the Windows 95 TV Ad that ran all those years ago – quite different from last week’s I’m A PC Ads

It’s a lot more “in-yer-face-does-exactly-what-it-says-on-the-tin” type stuff but you can’t beat a bit of Jagger to get the blood pumping and the imagination racing.

That was 10 years ago though, and I reckon we’ve moved on and are more sophisticated in our message expectations.

There’s more device choice in the market place and more of a variety in HOW we communicate and connect.

Some commenters in the blogosphere have said they like it that the new commercials are not aggressive and finger-pointing in nature.

Others like the fact that they don’t exude an elitist attitude.

Personally I like them because they show real people, in real environments, doing real things.

How refreshing!?
