Telling us something? No, they’re selling us something :-)

It’s interesting that they featured men sitting on women’s laps, men sitting on men’s laps, and women sitting on women’s laps, but no women sitting on men’s laps.

I first saw the ad yesterday (on a UK TV channel).

I see what you mean Adam!

If they aren’t trying to tell us something, then it is an incredible co-indidence:

The “aqua”-esque logo at the end, the reference to mobile computing technology.

In the UK version there are also singers, celebrities etc. sitting on people’s laps (“if you want entertainment on your laptop get Intel….”)

Maccast,
These ads aren’t for MS, but the ads that Ken mentioned (Start Something) are. And those were made by Loyalkaspar, a company that was featured by Apple.

… Doesn’t really relate to this post, but Ken is still right…

Ken,
These ads are Intel (not M$) ads, I was looking for the new Itel ads online, but haven’t found a link yet. If I do I will add it to the post.

Seal is also a big Mac fan. He has appeared a few Mac promo videos in the past.

MSÂ´s new campaign Â¨Start somethingÂ¨ itÂ´s tv ads are created by the company called Â¨LoyalkasperÂ¨ You can see thier work here

ItÂ´s a bit funny because this company was featured on AppleÂ´s Pro site.

I guess everybody needs a Mac to Â¨start somethingÂ¨…

Good catch Wilf. It was late when I posted this. It’s fixed.

Could be Adam.

“Are new Intel Centrino Ads relling us something?”

I think you might have meant “telling” :P

The Transition Syndrome strikes !

No, really a sharp observation there. Obviously part of the ‘game’, a teaser. Oh, bye the bye, new Macintels will arrive summer 2006… NOT winter 2005.

‘joy!
