Microsoft Windows 8 Commercial

We wanted to lift people up and remind them that ordinary people can make a difference. Our message focuses on the spirit of the holidays, people coming together and celebrating what is good and right with the world-what unites us, instead of what divides us. "Microsoft Celebrates the Spirit of the Season" People should let people be whoever they want to be. I look at another person and I don't see myself as separate from them. We need our fathers and mothers to be by our side. There's a damaged relationship between America's youth and the American police officer. We're going to change that. Knowing that at least one adult cares can make the difference in the world to transgender youth. Be that person. The first passenger on board our rescue ship was a two-month-old baby. (Lyrics) I know you're fed up Life don't let up for us All they talk about is What is going down? What's been messed up for us? When I look around I see blue skies I see butterflies for us Listen to the sound and lose it Its sweet music and dance with me 'Cause there is beauty in the world So much beauty in the world Always beauty in the world So much beauty in the world Heya throw your hands up and holla Remember God is giving you beauty in the world So love (Beauty in the world) Yeah love (Beauty in the world) There is beauty in the world Beauty in the world Hey baby when I'm looking at you I know it's fact is true There is hope for us And there's beauty in the world This holiday season, we brought together a group of people who are making a difference in the world. This is their vision of hope, peace and beauty. When the world seems divided, coming together can be a beautiful thing. spread harmony Microsoft

"Braylon O'Neill: Making Strides" Five year old Braylon O'Neill was born missing the tibia and fibula bones in both of his legs. Now, he's making strides, pushing limits, and playing sports because of Microsoft technology. December 22, 2008 Braylon was born. He entered the world with his arms up, and we all shouted "touchdown", and I really think in that moment a strong spirit entered the world. It was also that moment we discovered that he was missing the tibia and fibula bones in both of his legs. You know ever parent can't wait to see, you know, what their child is going to be like. For us it was a little bit different because he was born with a physical difference. As shocking as that was, it was a sense of peace when we looked at him we knew that is going to be able to do this. so when Bray was 11 months old he was fitted for his first pair of prosthesis. The prosthetics allow him to engage and play in ways very similar to that of his friends. I think I have a kid who is extremely determined. If he has a challenge, he finds a way to conquer that. I think he's taught myself and my husband a lot about that. But I think he's a kid who thinks he can do whatever he wants to do, and who loves so many parts of life. (Lyrics) Time to have some fun When I first met Braylon he was one year old. Once we found out who he really was, we found out that it didn't matter what we did, he was gonna make it work. Our objective is to keep him with the most modern technology, and to help him strive forward with his prosthesis. We's use Microsoft technology to analyze Braydon's gate mechanics. We're able to slow down his movements and watch them or track where his joins are in space to make any suggestions we may have for his prosthetic alignment or where he may need more strength. We were introduced to Travis when we were in San Diego. We brought him out to our triathalon event called the San Diego Triathalon Challenge. At that event Bray participated in his first kid's race, and he got a medal. Braylon put's himself out there with no regard to his legs at all. That's not the most important thing to him. It's living his life, and you can tell. I honestly can't imagine a world in which this technology does not exist for my child. He wouldn't be able to have all the opportunities that he does have. I think the technology has changed Braylon's life by opening up the world for him, and really making it the limitless world which is what every parent aspires for their child.

"Sarah Churman: Hearing for the first time" Sarah Churman went 29 years of her life wearing hearing aids. She received an Esteem Hearing implant and was able to hear her children laugh for the first time, all with the help of Microsoft technology. I went my whole life wearing hearing aids. I had 85 bilateral decibel loss, and without my hearing aid in, it would take a chainsaw running at full throttle right next to me to be able to register some sound. There was never a time that I didn't desire to want to hear. Back in 2011 I got a thing called the Esteem hearing implant. It's beeping. So your device is on. Can you hear me talking? The first time I heard my kid's voices was the morning after I got the first implant activated. One table. Two people. They were in here on the kitchen floor with their little table having a tea party so I came into the kitchen and I was crying. I thought they were wound up, and he said, "No, this is them on a daily basis." They were the main push for wanting to have the device. It was tough when she first got it turned on. For probably a month I moped around because I wasn't needed any more, and I had all these things I attended to for her. It's given me self confidence. It's allowed me to do things without constantly relying on someone. It's made me a better mom, and a better wife, and a better friend. If I could just scream from the rooftops about technology and how it could revolutionize your life like it's done mine. I just want everyone to benefit. Microsoft technologies involved intraoperatively, and we do measurements with a computerized device and a laser that picks up vibrations of the hearing mechanism. In the OR, all our interface devices are windows-based systems. Microsoft provided a single platform that we could use for a full breadth of our business. That single platform had all of the tools that we needed to execute the development and even our ongoing business today. Without Microsoft technology I'd still be wishing and waiting for the pivotal moment in my life where I finally got to experience everything I ever wanted to experience.

"Windows 8: Artist" This commercial shows a bored little girl. Her mother grabs the touchscreen monitor from her new Windows 8 computer and puts it on the little girl's artist easel. The girl then "paints" pictures on the touch device like it's a painting canvas. She picks a photo from the image library, and then tries to copy it in her painting app. She finishes off the face with a big red smile, and her mom prints the picture and pins it to the wall. Next she paints a rainbow, a falling star, the Earth, and a flower all while wearing costumes such as a Viking helmet, an owl hat, and a flower headband. While she's painting, the phone rings, and she answers it to talk to her dad right on the computer through Skype. She shows her dad her new pictures through the webcam (including one of him that she holds up-side-down). At the end, she spins around while holding the picture of her father. (Lyrics) I say the same thing twice, I'm awkward when I speak Ain't got the perfect smile, don't turn heads on my street Trying to be a superstar like everybody else But being myself is something I do well Express yourself Express yourself Aw, do it Start FreshPaint Skype Apps that inspire.

One person uses their new devices to watch Parkour videos from their XBox. Another plays multi-player Fruit Ninja on a large touch screen monitor. Another person uses the picture password feature to "draw" a secret pattern on a picture to log into their computer. A little girl "paints" pictures using her touch device.
