Last but not least: Windows 8, the beautiful woman

Putting on makeup in 8 seconds, shooting a weird little video, and quickly insulting women while you're at it—all for Windows 8.

No woman can apply make-up in 8 seconds. But one woman can, because she's clever enough to do it and looks good doing it. This is how Microsoft communicates in a short film for Windwos 8 and tops it all off with the slogan "Beautiful and fast".

Not meant so badly? Isn't it a compliment for a woman to be compared to Windows 8, the "beautiful AND fast technology"? A woman feels unjustly insulted here, it's just advertising, and funny too? Well then, cheers to Microsoft! Here's to computers growing breasts soon. (uma)
