Windows commercial ...... on crack!

I know that evenstar3 posted a link to this on another thread, but I thought this was worthy of its own thread.... The story is that in 1987 (or 88) Microsoft made a promo tape for retailers to promote their then new Windows 386... the tape itself starts off very typical for an advertising and then progressively turns weirder lol .... Here's the part where it gets REALLY weird:

And for those who want to see the whole thing (12 minutes), it can be found here:

Oh, and I finally watched the whole thing from start to finish.... I just noticed a few things: How the guy that discovers Linda when she turns into the rapping-psycho lady looks kinda like Bob Saget lol .... and also the slogan that Microsoft uses at the very end of the video:
"The Soul of the New Machines"
WTF? falloff
