Don't forget IE9, the first browser with a dubstep commercial! http://youtu.be/7u2KN_Q0sy8

But, really, cool? Microsoft is trying too hard. Watching their videos is akin to rogue state propaganda. Does anyone really believe that IE9 is the "coolest" or "most beautiful" browser ever? (Let alone that being an important metric at all.) It's unfortunate that Microsoft thinks we'll actually believe this stuff.

On the other hand, props to them. I wouldn't have known about Alex Clare's "Too Close" track without that commercia.
