What the iPod box would look like if designed by Microsoft:

According to Lee Gomez in his Portals column in The Wall Street Journal:

"The video exposes the entire Windows aesthetic with humor and striking
realism. You'd expect it to have been made by pranksters at Apple or the
company's fans. In fact, it was produced by designers at Microsoft, in a
spirit of self-criticism. It's as if they know the sort of great  
design they
ought to be doing, but are too smothered by a corporate culture to  
deliver
it."
