Microsoft's Windows Mobile (or, we should say, "WinMob") team goes viral and decidedly non-PC in this video-based attempt to woo developers to their platform. It's funny, and a bit long, but they get at least some credit for simply ignoring the line that usually separates product marketing from good taste. It's worth watching if you have a sense of humor.

Thanks to Rami A. for the link.
