That's certainly true, but on the other hand, I like to have as much information about a product as possible before buying it. Not that Microsoft only puts useful information on their packaging (ha!) but some info is better than none.
Although I've never seen the iPod box up close, so I can't really say if I like it.

Does that like only show up if you don't have Flash? I see plenty of links to download their proprietary player and format but they seem to be trying to hide the raw AVI like it was a trade secret.

I was more sad than anything.

That kind of microsoft let's put shit everywhere packaging is the kind I really hate. There's something to be said for simplicity and sleekness. The MS type package is the type I avoid at all costs.

considering I dont really like microsoft, although I dont really like apple at all either, I would pick the microsoft box, looks alot better, and has information on it. not to mention it actually looks better.

It's like... What would happen if Microsoft owned the i-Pod. Don't hate me for saying this but: (Text is black) I LIKE APPLE BETTER THAN WINDOWS! Still is funny though.

Funny stuff...and so true--microsoft throws a bunch of information on to their packaging while apple goes for the simple design. Completely different paradigms of packaging design.

My friend saw the video and says she would select the microsoft box... i probably would to

Yeah, one of my friends showed me that. Messed up, but pretty funny. And much as I dislike apple, I must admit, this is true.

Nice video.

Midly funny for me. Worth a nice chuckle though.

Anyway, pretty funny. I had a chuckle here and there.

Apart from being quite funny who people who know both companies well, it's apparently was made by Microsoft employers. They probably just wanted to poke fun on traps that Microsoft have done in the past when it comes to packeting.

Here it is, Google video so I think you need flash

Blame slashdot for me finding this...
