I'm with Jack Schofield on this - Dell teasing about a PC many people have seen on the web already at their https://www.dell.com/welcomebeautiful site.
What irks me even more though is their lack of understanding of viral. I mean, if you want to get this thing shared and shown around the web, make the video shareable. You know, that little bit of <embed> code? It's dead simple to do especially given YouTube and many others do it already with flash. It too me 3 minutes to crack the code and paste it below....why can't Dell do that? I want to help them share their good stuff but at least make it easier for me!
[update] removed until I can find a way to embed the movie without autoplay!
To be fair, we're not much better at this - we just put up a great site for Office Accounting with a funky video and that suffers from the same issue.
Come on folks, lets get Web 2.0 before everyone gets to Web 3.0 eh?

I obviously see your point although I'm not too sure ms office accounting is really something that requires to be embedded. It's not something you would automatically think about in terms of viral. Although considering it's such a simple task there is no reason to leave it out.
