it asks you to install the latest player. I don't trust anything I don't have first hand knowledge of. It plays anyway. No need for the upgrade they ask you to install

I've looked at this a dozen times. If it's edited, I can't find it. Anyone else seen or heard of this?

If it's not a fake, it is one of the most amazing stunts I've ever seen!

No way!  :rotf:

It's an ad for Microsoft Office Project 2007. But it's good. :lmao:

I knew it had to be, but damn, it was done good! Never heard of that new player though and I'm a Microsoft partner! Guess I should go back and read some of the crap they send me. lol!

After doing a "little" research, it doesn't matter much, since the classic media player in XP will pick it up anyway.

After reading the comments on that site, I have to give Gates a thumbs up! It sure as hell is a good advert for Microsoft Project! There are a bunch of anti Gates asshats commenting that it won't sell Microsoft "Office"! No Shit Sherlock! It was meant to publicize "Project". Which by the way, it seems to do very well, looking at the time frame in which they put this together.

All I can say is "Excellent" piece of video done over a run of the mill 'puter! Just "Excellent"! I dabble in Photoshop's ImageMaker, and know how difficult this shit can be with nothing more than a home computer.
