Basic description of the project: THE CHALLENGE: Coders hate advertising. And yet we were tasked with using advertising to communicate that Microsoft's new cloud-based development platform – Windows Azure – was designed to let creative developers work their magic in the cloud.
THE SOLUTION: An ad whose code can be hacked by the coder community.
