Microsoft attacks Google and its Chromebook in new video
Microsoft has released a new video for its Scroogled campaign and it's clear, the gloves are off when it comes to bashing Google. In the clip, posted above, Microsoft has recruited a few of the cast members from Pawn Stars to talk about the Chromebook. The clip is nothing short of throwing mud directly at Google as Rick, the lead character in Pawn Stars, refuses to buy a Chromebook off of a potential customer because it is not a real laptop. Rick says that because the Chromebook applications are web based, when you are not connected to the web, it's basically a brick. Further, Rick says that by having the Chromebook logo, it's not real laptop because it doesn't come with Office or Windows. Microsoft doesn't stop there; they say that when you are connected to the web, the Chromebook will track what you do online to put ads in front of your face.

Simply pathetic.. M$ , is this really the way how to make people go and buy your stuff? Isn't your newest office cloud based BTW? I'd love to see that douchebag getting a win8 laptop with no touchscreen and see how he could work with that. STEAM OS please show up asap.

After their failure to provide a decent user experience for desktop users in Windows 8/8.1, I think this ad is inappropriate. They better fix their own stuff first before attacking others.

Not to say I like M$ much but, I like this ad most of it is true but M$ can't really complain as they practically use the same tactics. Reminds me of "Hi I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC" ads..
