Shocking! Microsoft gets a sense of humor

To help launch Internet Explorer 8, Microsoft has created a kind of mockumentary about the history of the Internet. Surprise! It's actually funny.
The video features a series of interviews with comedians including Janeane Garofalo, Christian Finnegan, and Dave Hill, and is tongue-in-cheek, ironic, off-color and clever ... all the things that Microsoft is normally not. You can see the video, from YouTube, below.
The video manages to hit some of the Internet's low-lights, including the maddening hamster dance of years gone by.
There's no hard sell here for Internet Explorer 8. The video goes on for too long, but despite that, manages to be surprisingly entertaining.
