There’s no way they would have considered not being on the front of ‘dev.world()’ magazine to be the better outcome. I also like the BMW-love criticism while at the same time judging someone on the aesthetics of their laptop.

LOL. Wonderful bit of deconstructionism! Derrida would be proud.

the guy has two cute girls in his cube both before and after. for any self respecting nerd, thats a win no matter how you slice it. The after nerd is more interested in his mp3’s though, and judging by how confused the girls are looking at the change orders, there is more opportunity for the eco-friendly mountain bike geek… Is it just me, or did the marketing folks all go out to lunch and let the intern finish this ad? Before should have been some stodgy business manager yelling at him, and after should have had the girls giving the guy a backrub at the very least.

IMHO, the after should have the guy using a macbook pro because the dell is like a friggin tank on his desk, and all the visual studio crashes would have given him too many tension headaches to continue to develop on that platform…

You moronâ€¦..â€a huge ugly laptopâ€ is Dell XPS - a top of the line product !! Get a life!

Wow - how stupid do I feel for describing a top of the line Dell as ugly?

Here’s a clue: “ugly” and “top of the line” are orthogonal.

So the advertising slogan is “VS gets you two chicks at one time, man”?

Don’t miss the admiration glance on the girl’s face in the “after” version. I think the selling point here is you can use VS to mutate from a geeky nobody to a BMW-branded alpha male. Which anyway is stupid, of course, a _real_ alpha male has a real office, not a shitty cubicle :-) .
