Microsoft new ad for IE9

Is this satire? Is it a real ad? Am I the only person who thinks this ad is terrible.

PS: The ad is the youtube link and not my signature.

Why pretty up more crap with even more crap?

IE9 is crap, and will always remain crap.

And thusly staying off my laptop.

I use SRWare Iron with Adblock Plus and TrackmeNot - both to defeat Google crap.

I've found myself using Chromium on infrequent occasions when, for some reason, Firefox with numerous firewalls doesn't render a page properly. Iron looks like a possible alternative.

The strategy TrackmeNot uses looks rather workable, but undoubtedly also increases traffic, particularly for search engines. However, when liars are running nearly everything, maybe it is time to start playing the lying and deception game, in spite of all those "honor code" psychological operations implanted so effectively in so many of our minds. Have to consider this further....

Features that ALL of the other browsers support are not supported in IE, whatever version.

IE10 = support for all the standards that every other browser supported a few years ago... MAYBE.
