Just got the chance to watch this absolutely hysterical video that demonstrates the iPhone as rendered by Microsoft. It savages the company every which way for some typical and not-so-typical flaws that show up in MS products. It’s so spot-on, in fact, that it reminds me of the notorious “Microsoft iPod” commercial from a few years back.
Of course, that spot turned out to be generated by Microsoft itself, so it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that this is of similar origin. It’s the kind of video you watch yourself to remember what not to do, you know? Especially since the user who uploaded it has no other videos on YouTube…

Thanks for the video. I was surprised about such ZunePhone
You know, while the old “If Microsoft designed the iPod” video was absolutely hilarious (and still gets a smile from me, over a year after having originally seen it), this iPhone one is really, really lame unless you’re automatically going to laugh at any and all jabs taken at Microsoft.
I like OS X. I just don’t hate Microsoft. Is that all right? Am I still allowed to buy an iMac?
no
I dunno, I thought it was freakin’ hilarious. XD
