Speaking of fun stuff, yeah, Microsoft did the iPod box design parody video. Yes, we can laugh at ourselves. The marketing team did it to challenge the box designers for our products to do better. We need more of this stuff. Microsoft is a consensus culture and consensus (which means everyone has to sign off on things) does avoid trouble, but it also makes for uninspired products and marketing. That is our internal challenge to figure out, that’s for sure!

Microsoft can laugh at itself now? That’s not the Microsoft we all know and loathe. The iPod packaging parody was one of the funnier things I’ve come across lately. Pleased to hear that it was an internal production. What an excellent way for frustrated creatives to make a point to the company at large, by being creative.
