I just saw his rather amazing ad for Windows 7:
Now, make no mistake. While large software corporations do sometimes incorporate feature suggestions from users, they are not in the habit of making major user interface decisions based on the diktats of random idiots in London taxis. Really, they are not.
This has been a common theme in Microsoft's advertising of late; something along the lines of "Sure, those Macs are better, but they're designed by fancy elitist experts with decades of experience, and used by clever designers and people. Isn't that intimidating! Windows is designed for normal people, by normal people!" I can imagine it actually works rather well, but it's a little off-putting to me.
Wasn't that task bar window preview thing in Vista, anyway?
