Microsoft Is Using Siri Like A Hand Puppet Now


What better way to make a competitor’s product look ridiculous than to have it say stupid things, right? Microsoft has decided to use Siri as its own personal hand-puppet to advertise Windows RT tablets.

In the new ad for RT tablets, Microsoft uses Siri’s voice to say things like “I can only do one thing at a time”, and “I don’t update like that” when talking about the new Start Menu, before having the iPad bash out a rendition of chopsticks a la the new iPad mini ads.

It’s effective advertising if you’re into that sort of thing, but it’s not like Windows RT can do it all, either.
