I can't say that I have ever seen a Microsoft ad that was particularly good ... More often then not there are tons of unintentional messages in their ads that are the opposite of what anyone would want; consider their "Windows 7 was my idea ads" which could be interpreted as even idiots knew what Microsoft has needed to do since 1995 and they’re finally getting around to it.
Now, my personal opinion on the press Microsoft has been seeing is that people are dramatically overstating it. While it has been seeing significant interest from tech-related resources, I haven’t seen many comments on it from the wider press; and these people’s opinions are not (really) generalize-able being that many of them believed that people were dying to buy a $600 PS3 and would avoid the Wii because it lacked HD output.
