Here's your feel-good story of the day: A Microsoft fan named Brandon Foy has landed a design job with the company based on two homemade commercials he created for the Windows phone. See the ads below. The first, posted to YouTube in February, has almost 150,000 views. The second, posted in April, has about 110,000 views.
