i guess they are thinking "only idiots use our browser, so let's make ads for idiots"

Anxious · 03-07-2009, 05:01

Is that Dean Cain? WTF?

Hinkle · 03-07-2009, 05:15

yeah. shame on you, superman !

solarisedesign · 03-07-2009, 05:37

I like them. Dean Cain amuses me in his non-superman role. There's a few others too.

Still ain't going to get me using IE though.

flunky · 03-07-2009, 05:42

What has that guy done since that Superman shite with the bint from Desperate Housewives?

At least the ad knows it's target market. Microsoft can sit back and be proud of all the cash they spent on target market research and here he is:

More headaches for the future then!

Hinkle · 03-07-2009, 07:09

actually i'm glad they are doing all this crap, hopefully the bulk of those IE6 users will finally upgrade and we'll have one less version to worry about.

flunky · 03-07-2009, 07:13

They have more videos on the official site. I quite like the F.O.M.S one. But if that woman was in the same office as me, it would result in a chair to the back of the head.

Internet Explorer 8 - Better Browser

freelancr · 03-07-2009, 07:13

The problem is IE8 has about 7 different combinations of rendering modes. I'm sure they do this just to wind us up.

illvibe · 03-07-2009, 07:15

Reminds me a little of this:

flunky · 03-07-2009, 07:36

They should have got this guy to do their ads.

Shiro · 03-07-2009, 07:43

They must be pissed that they actually have to work to get people to use their browser now, when before there was no other choice.
