Lyrics used in the commercial

Which way is right
Which way is wrong
How do I say that I need to move on
You know we had this separate ways
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There's nothing I can really say
I can't lie no more
I can't hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you

Description

The web browser market has long been dominated by Microsoft's Internet Explorer. And even though several alternatives have challenged IE, there hasn't been much of a television advertising presence. Google has had some Chrome commercials as part of a larger campaign to advertise Google services, so this IE spot might be considered a response to that.

Microsoft shows off some of what IE9 can do. Some of the lively examples: The classic childrens story "Jack and the Beanstalk". A Bing search with a frog as the background (in motion). Another Bing page with a beautiful view of the sky / space. A drawing being created at deviantART. A scene from Iron Man. A digital car spinning around. A game called Cut the Rope. Facebook, Twitter, Pandora, Hulu, Skydrive.
