Meet Tom. And meet Tom's sales team. And welcome to Tom's World. The animation is far from state of the art. In fact, it is cartoonish, and I mean that in the worst sense of the word. I can't even begin to imagine the marketing concept behind this thing. When have four years old become a target group for Microsoft? There are also some customers involved. One is a yellow robot-like cyclops, the second is a green jellyfish (this is disputable) with four arms and two legs, and the third is your average Area 51 alien.

They are on a mission. They came for Windows Vista!!! But wait, there is more! Tom & Co are also on a mission to keep their customers happy. And, by the looks of their customers, Tom's ready for some probing. What he is not ready in fact is... for the fast approaching Windows Vista.

Apparently, what Tom & Co don't know is that "the launch of Windows Vista is actually a huge opportunity to help customers work with their computers and with their media in a whole new way!!!" end quote. No amount of exclamation points can reproduce the narrator's enthusiasm.

The cartoon unfolds in a similar manner exemplifying each edition of Windows Vista: Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate. Vista Ultimate additionally introduces a new client: VistaZilla.

As the intricacies and the intrigue of the cartoon move forward, the Vista Capable Logo Program is introduced with the adjacent explanations. And while Vista Capable Logo is designed for Vista Home Basic, the Windows Vista Premium Logo is designed for Home Premium, Business and Ultimate. If the animation is supposed to be funny, ironic, intelligent, it failed miserably. And if there is supposed to be another purpose to this other than wasting time, then that failed too.
