Microsoft: We created the iPod packaging parody

Well,here's one we didn't see coming. You may remember the video that was floatingaround a couple of weeks ago that poked fun at Microsoft by illustrating what the iPod's packaging might look likeif Redmond were in charge. Well, according to this article at theiPod O erver, the video was created at Microsoft itself.

According to Microsoft okesman Tom Pilla, thevideo was "...an internal-only video clip commi ioned by our packaging [team] to humorously highlight thechallenges we have faced RE: packaging and to educate marketers here about the pitfalls ofpackaging/branding."

Wow, so the folks at MS can make a joke, and a good one at that. I'mimpre ed.
