The "developers!" video and "monkey dance" have probably been swatched by... well, pretty much everyone in the IT industry, but this one is even less known than Steve Ballmer's Windows 1.0 ad, which was authentic (no parody intended).
That second guy is Brian Valentine, who left Microsoft after the Trouble better known as "Vista".
IBM basically laid off almost 1,000 people last week [...] At the moment about 75% of the 'articles' we see about IBM (in recent days) are some kind of slop
Very ill-prepared for the deteriorating situation caused by their clients' past behaviour towards many people, including high-profile figures who offered to testify
Last week IBM laid off almost 1,000 people in Confluent and the media didn't write anything about it, so don't expect anyone in what's left of the media to comment on Fedora's demise and silent layoffs at Red Hat
In an age when ~1,000 simultaneous layoffs aren't enough to receive any media coverage, what can we expect remaining publishers to tell us about Microsoft layoffs in 2026?
Is the "era of AI" an era when none of the media will mention over 800 layoffs? [...] There's a lesson here about the state of the contemporary media, not just IBM and bluewashing

I think it goes well with the above TV commercial as part of a Vista upgrade marketing campaign.
