...and is exactly how Microsoft has pummeled everybody else in marketing.
What exactly were the real products behind the following:

- Where do you want to go today?
- ...software to solve business problems...
- .NET
- Make the Internet more useful every day
- Your potential. Our passion.

Ads aren't supposed to "inform", they are supposed to draw attention.
Window dressing does not exist to communicate a product manual, it exists to
make us notice.  The product pitch can only come after you actually have
somebody paying attention.

I suspect that you, when faced with a problem, actually research viable
solutions and quantify the probability of working as advertised.  That said,
you obviously are unqualified for management.  Just remember that art
imitates life:  the PHB in Dilbert is only funny because he reflects
something most people have experienced.
