[Microsoft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/windows-xp-crocs) has cast [YouTube's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-underdogs) latest celebrity 'Double Rainbow Guy' to be in its latest commercial. The Double Rainbow Windows commercial is a hilarious take on the original viral video that found its way into the hearts and minds of millions.

The Double Rainbow Windows commercial features the star of the original video, Paul Vasquez, stumbling upon another double rainbow, which he captures with Windows Photo Gallery. What stands out to me is how quickly Microsoft jumped all over this. Vasquez's 15 minutes of fame weren't even up yet and they were all over it. Smart move.
