OMG! I love it and couldn't stop laughing the entire time! :D
It's funny because it's true! ...especially in terms of Microsoft's standard "busy" packaging design vs. Mac's simplicity-design approach. Perhaps the Apple geek in me (with a graphic design background) made the video more hilarious. Thanks for sharing it, CP! :)

I just get a 500 Server Error page. Was this taken down? What was it? I gotta know.

I think all links/videos on that site are down right now.

That was fabulous. I've had analogous experiences in meetings. Two or three lines of clear, concise copy were gang-banged into ponderous five paragraph "mission statement" monstrosities. Ugh.

Less is more.

You could try The Song Tapper.
It's GD recommended.

I think it may be from Erik Satie's Ballet Parade - but I can't access any intenet music files to confim.

It's the theme from Pee Wee's Big Adventure, by Danny Elfman.

THAT'S IT!!!!!!! Thanks, CP! I've been trying to figure that out since I first saw the parody.

Thanks also, Chris. I've been doing a little lightweight Satie listening since your post.
