Apple has nothing to worry about.
This is Microsoft’s official infomercial for SongBirdSmith, their <cringing> GarageBand Killer. While you watch it please remember that Microsoft is one of the biggest software companies in the world and this is the best it can come up with.
For those not in the know GarageBand is Apple’s entry level music production software that comes preloaded on every Mac. It makes it very simple for anyone but the most tone-deaf moron to quickly throw together a jingle or soundtrack like this one here. Try sitting through the entire film. I couldn’t.
P.S. Those shiny silver laptops in the Microsoft ad? ALL Apple MacBook Pros. MICROSOFT FAIL!
P.P.S. Thanks to Aditya for the tip. Its SongSmith not SongBird. In my defence MS’s naming isn’t the most intuitive in the world. Look at Windows’ names: 98,ME,2000,XP,Vista,7 i.e. A year,two letters, a year, a word and a random number. Geez.

Terrible terrible Ad.. But…
It’s Songsmith, not Bird. SongBird is the new iTunes killer from Mozilla. Also, Songsmith is a little different from GarageBand, in that it actually matches music to your singing. It’s an interesting concept, and the software is decent for a first try.
That said, EXTREMELY terrible ad, and why on earth did they use MacBooks??? Dumbasses!
