Man, I wish Windows was that cheap these days. I've been dreading an upgrade to W7, since it would increase the cost of my next build by 30%.

That video just made me laugh...  Is he selling a PC OS, cars, or Ginsu knives?  XD

It's pretty crazy through-out, but I love the end with the nebraska bit. That's just a full-on gone-to-town batshit-crazy stare.

HAhaha wow, I would've just jumped off a building if I lived during a time where that was worth buying, even for $99.

Well, today, Windows is number one on the desktop... seem that car saleman speech have work... Ballmer is the 46th richest person in the world according to Forbes... His salary for 2010 was 1.351.121$...

Don't know for you but i am ready to make stupid promotional video for reach the same financial success that Ballmer... and if it work, it is because there is plenty of "stupid" people who was seduce by the car saleman speech...

Last month, it was the 10 year of Windows XP... Ballmer early promotional video for XP was not very different that these for windows 1.0 ( only fewer hair on the head ) :
