Oh, Microsoft..
Cannot even use a real person to fake an ad.. don't they have enough money to pay someone off?
They took the page down.. but I grabbed a screenshot from google's cache to preserve it for posterity..
Stock photo they used is here.
The "editor's note" at the end is a nice touch..
Editor's Note: Now that we've successfully converted our writer to a Windows PC, we will be working on getting her to try a Pocket PC. Stay tuned for more developments!

Yahoo news
An employee at a public relations company hired by Microsoft, Valerie G. Mallinson of Shoreline, Wash., later acknowledged she was Microsoft's mysterious convert. The Associated Press tracked Mallinson by examining personal data hidden within documents that Microsoft had published with its controversial ad.
How ironic that the horrible lack of privacy thanks to MS software is what made it easy to find her :)
