I love the new Microsoft ad campaign: (seen on the back of this week's
Newsweek.)
--------------------
Why is our company tagline a question?
In part, it is meant to be an invitation to you.
In part, it's a question because we really need to know. We don't have
all the answers. We make software and we watch you use it. [Heck, we
even keep track of which computer you're writing your reports on. We
really watch you us it.] And we've noticed you tend to do some pretty
amazing things, some things we never would've imagined. [We really wish
you'd stop trying to using those "new features. They're only there
because marketing said so, we really haven't done any development yet.] We
do a lot of our best work trying to keep up with your imagination. [
Security? Who ever imagined that? ]
So, for us, this isn't just a slogan; it's an honest question, and how you
answer makes all the difference. So we'll ask it again: Where do you want
to go today?(r)
