I guess I missed that one. I remember one with butterflies and some
boring one about a server.

The last one I remember where MS was actually trying to promote an OS
was the one where they had Mick Jagger singing that song with the
refrain "You make a grown man cry." And sure enough, the OS did reduce
some people to tears over the ensuing years.

That was a great commercial: bouncy, memorable and painfully honest.
