Microsoft Just Got Geekier

In the difficult task of making Microsoft relevant to consumers the latest promotional effort does not help the cause. On December 15th, Microsoft "Softwear" will be available to consumers. With the nauseating overuse of the rapper Common (he has also pimped Zune) Microsoft hopes to tap into the nostalgia of PCs. Examples shown below













Okay, so if these tees are on your X-mas list here is why you should skip it:
  • I own an old PC and I hate it. No nostalgia here, just frustration.
  • I would rather not pay a company to advertise them. Free tees, sure. Buying it at Kohl's, I think not.
  • Geek wear is great, but this seems forced, not clever.
  • It would be so much more effective if MS wasn't pushing it, but geeky MS evangelists designed the gear

Another lame attempt from Microsoft desperately wanting to be the cool kid.
