Microsoft have unveiled the first advertising campaign to support their exciting new operating system Windows Phone 7 Series. The ad (which you can check out below) helps portray the ease and versatility of the new Windows Phone 7 range quite nicely, showing us how we’ll be using our Windows Phones for every day life. The commercial, which was unveiled at Microsoft MIX 10 event (a 3 day conference for web designers and developers), works well to show the more family friendly side of the new Windows Mobile. We won’t go into too much detail, it’s worth a watch, but it’s definitely a vast improvement over the Windows Mobile 6.5 campaign which saw a man lugging around life size icons of Microsoft Office applications which only seemed to show how cumbersome the OS was.

One comment we will make (and we’re not making any accusations as these adverts take months to make); the ad does bear a striking resemblance to a recently revamped ad campaign for the Palm Pre which is currently airing stateside. It seems showing off the user friendliness of an operating system is the flavour of the month for most manufacturers these days.
