The Seattle Times Tech Tracks blog today points to a music video that's making the rounds online. It looks like an internal Microsoft sales video, made to encourage staffers to sell Windows Vista. Made in the vein of Bruce Springsteen's old video, "Dancing in the Dark," the lyrics go something like this: "When they see the improvements in security, The desktop and mobility and productivity, They'll say, 'Vista, gotta get me some.'"



Yep, pretty cheesy. Remember Courtney Cox dancing in front of the stage in Bruce's original video? They've even got a Courtney look-alike. They had to know this would end up on YouTube.

Great, I just puked on my laptop and now have to go buy a new one and pay MS for Vista again.

Seriously, thats a lame sales video.

Who is "the Boss?" Isn't that a T.V. show? Bruce should retire in his old town.

Springsteen has been butchering his OWN music for decades now...

this isn't too much different from his standard performances
