Windows XP is no longer a supported operating system and since April 8, computers running it could easily become hackers' favorite targets as long as Microsoft refuses to fix the critical vulnerabilities it finds.

Some companies across the world have noticed the opportunity to promote their own services using this important milestone in everyone's lives, so it shouldn't be too hard to find someone to help you move a Windows XP computer to Windows 7.

The executives over at PCM, a British company that's also offering migration services, have created what it's clearly the most awkward, a little bit funny, at some point stupid, and overall useless commercial that you'll ever see.

Simply called the “Windows XP Funeral,” the video you can watch by clicking the play button below has everything that a real funeral has: people crying about the loss of their beloved ones, a hearse, sad music in case you feel like bursting into tears, and someone talking about how great Windows XP actually was.

This ad wasn't new, but its creators probably hoped to see it go viral, so it barely reached a few hundreds views on YouTube. Watch it by clicking the play button below and let us know what you think in the comment box after the jump.
