My friends and I (who are Mac fanatics) have a friend called Luke who is an absolute Microsoft fanatic and whom we often spend an evening down the pub winding him up about the whole Microsoft/Apple thing. Its always great fun, as he seldom wins, yet always refuses to accept that Apple rock.
Anyway, my friends are very musical, and a while back Luke asked if they could write him a little ditty - a theme tune as it were. So we sat down last week and wrote a song for our friend Luke and his love of Microsoft, and we're really chuffed with it - we even have a music video!
Anyway, thought you guys might like it - as it has an Apple versus Microsoft theme to it, and is pretty darn good if I don't say so myself!
You can download it, and read the story behind it at our websites as follows:

Please enjoy - and be sure to pass it on to your friends!!!

PS Comments would be very welcome :D

Maybe its just my sound setup but the sound on the flash video is so muffled that I can't hear a thing! :confused:

Hmm I am confused by this one - try the wmv, or listen to the mp3 - the mp3 is both longer and better quality!

It's available in wmv format because Microsoft Luke himself loves the video and song so much that he converted it for his microsoft friends - and I haven't had time yet to convert to quicktime.....it is in flash format though!!!

i liked it, but please edit the flash movie, the sound quality is horrible and you can hardly understand the words

Great job! http://instagiber.net/smiliesdotcom/kao/otn/blobflower.gif

Sorry - I literally taught myself a bit of flash just to make the movie - I have never used flash before!!!
Hopefully you downloaded the mp3, as the sound quality is much much better!

I figured that was the case... still kind of ironic. ;)

Lol, I'd forgotten about Microsoft Bob! Be rest assured though that Luke is actually a real person and not actually a Microsoft product!!!
