Microsoft blogger Long Zheng has come across a Finnish promo video for Internet Explorer 9 and the Windows Live 2011 suite which mixes tech with romance. While the premise may be cheesy, the production values are remarkably slick and the video shows a continued effort by the software giant to think outside the box when it comes to advertising its products. And as Mr Zheng points out , if nothing else, the Finnish ad is a good public service announcement against romantic tattoos. A public beta of Internet Explorer 9 was released in mid-September, and Microsoft has continued to release regular ''Platform Previews'' showing off new and updated features. The final release date for the browser has yet to be announced.
Update: According to the tags on the video's Vimeo page, the promo was shot using a Canon 7D DSLR.
