Funny commercial, but doesn't it illustrate that no f***s were given that day about Windows Phones?
Truth be told, it's a great commercial for its entertainment value but it fails to sell Windows Phone and it actually sort of comes off making it look like the extreme minority that nobody finds worth bothering over.
I'll say it yet again: Nokia really should try listening to customers.
Windows Phone has been around for more than two years in its current metro-tiles-not-metro-anymore abomination, right? That's quite a while longer than the one or two years various people in here have suggested waiting to see if it's a success. That's without even considering the 10+ years of negative Windows mobile history that preceded it to this point. I sincerely doubt that end-users will care which kernel it's running. If the Windows Phone platform itself didn't convince very many people this far out, I doubt Windows Phone 8 will manage to change that for any of the differences it makes from Windows Phone 7... especially after burning their customers over the past decade, or even very recent customers that are now stuck with an incompatible and un-upgradeable WP7 handset. iOS and Android people running older hardware can STILL run newer software so long as they meet requirements--and very little seems to be prevented from running on older hardware--whereas newer Windows 8 apps will NOT run on older devices. This just adds to more of the pain they're dragged customers through and a funny commercial with a couple of people using Windows Phone off to the side isn't really convincing anybody.
Still, it is a funny bit of religious brand loyalty war commentary.
