If your answer is yes then you can certainly relate to Microsoft's video advert for the Internet Explorer which depicts what it's like in the 90s. Microsoft was spot in the video except for the hairstyle part. Microsoft is banking on the idea that it all goes down to price. Like Lauren in the first Microsoft ad, the second ad features Giampaulo who was given a budget of $1,500. After this second ad, I don't think the next ones will be anymore interesting unless Microsoft veers away from the price argument. Microsoft has announced to completely remove the Adobe Flash component from Windows through the KB4577586 "Update for Removal of Adobe Flash Player" starting June 2021. In July 2017, Microsoft, along with Adobe and their industry technology partners, announced that Adobe Flash Player would no longer be supported after December 2020. Microsoft has announced that the support for Windows 7 will come to an end on January 14, 2020, after its first release in 2009.
