Latest Advertising Ploy

Article


A mysterious online countdown. USB drives containing cipher keys. Notes and videos from a woman who calls herself Loki. Bloggers' reports of extravagant gifts, marked with a return address for Microsoft's headquarters.


And the reason is ?
It's an advertising ploy by microsoft to sell Vista, their new operating system.

Of course they don't tell you that until much later, you find the clues first and try to unravel the puzzel ...

High marks for creativity.
Low marks for ethics.
Totally wasting people's time like this and then in the end trying to sell them your crud.

Scumbag scumbag scumbag !!!!
