Don't get me wrong. I actually did advertising for them for a few years. (Got to pay the bills somehow.) But this isn't fair -- "Life without walls" is actually pretty good. If you want to mock MS, why not go after their vista campaign, which consisted of repeating the word "wow" as if seeing the word would actually make me think they have a good product? http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnswords/392544076/ I hate MS as much as the next guy.

If you google for "in a world without walls or fences" - 21,000 results. Plus another 64,000 if you use "and" instead of "or." This wasn't a little joke I heard once on a BBS, it's got serious sticking power. Somebody at the ad agency was asleep at the wheel. Charlie, I’m still chuckling over it.

I live in Seattle, the home of Microsoft, and I tell you the billboards are EVERYwhere. And I'd never heard that "who needs Windows and Gates" joke, but that is brilliance! Wow, thanks for the laughs. That was refreshing... Amy -

Then I realized, you're serious... that IS their new slogan. Did you ever hear that old joke "in a world without walls and fences, who needs Windows and Gates?" Cuz... um... yeah. Old joke. Been around for-EVER. Can't believe that's their new slogan. Cuz... cuz... yeah. This post was so funny, I thought it was entirely a joke. Then I realized, you’re serious… that IS their new slogan.
