Microsoft rolls out new video to promote Office 365

Microsoft is again trying to advertise its cloud-based Office 365 productivity suite, this time with a pretty amusing video supposed to show you the similarities between this service and a… dessert.

Even though some of the answers people give in this video are more or less awkward, Microsoft most likely wants you to believe that Office 365 is just like a delicious cake that not only looks great, but is also very appealing for lots of people out there.

As you know, Microsoft continues to bet big on Office 365, so this new ad is most probably part of a much more ambitious advertising plan for the productivity suite.

“Through your good work our Office 365 service has literally exploded. For the last few years we were saying SharePoint was the No. 1 fastest growing product at Microsoft. Then it was Lync, the No. 1 fastest growing product at Microsoft. Through your good work it's Office 365,” CEO Steve Ballmer said during the WPC 2013 event in Houston.
