What's the deal with Seinfeld doing ads for Microsoft?

There's an obvious comedian Microsoft should have used ... http://notnews.today.com/2008/08/21/30/

Maybe Newman should make a cameo appearance in a Mac vs PC commercial. Might be worth a snicker or two.

> ... I'm sorry. I just can't type anymore. I'm laughing too hard.

Guys, please stop being so pompous and self righteous. I'm an avid mac fan, but reading these kinds of articles are just ridiculous, especially when the writer is completely unable to remain juxtaposed.

Face it, guys, Microsoft is a more successful company than Apple, by about $100 billion.

I suppose Jerry is the cheap way out and it would cost a lot more to fix Vista.

It's weird that Gates will be appearing in the commercials, after the big deal made of him stepping down at MS. It sends a really mixed message, but moreover shows that he likely isn't letting go, which has been a mixed blessing for MS since he left the CEO spot.

That said, Gates does have a really good sense of humor about himself, and he might be pretty entertaining. Would it make me switch? Heh, not in infinity plus one years.

300 million on an ad campaign. I can't see them making anywhere near that much in profit due to having an ad campaign of this nature. Sounds like lose.

Sweet fancy Moses! Well, I guess they're going to appeal to the "get off my lawn" demographic. Remember Jerry's "flash-forward" scene where he was envisioning being an old man, in the same apartment with an elderly Kramer, and then impulsively proposed to Janeane Garofalo? This campaign might look kind of like two old guys trying to look hip. Hope not, though...Jerry has always been intrigued by advertising (he even mentioned opening an ad agency as one of his possible post-sitcome vocations). And let's not forget that George once sold PCs for Frank before Kramer went Incredible Hulk on them! Oh well...sometimes all you can say is SERENITY NOW

that's a good thing, though I suspect you meant "the dearth of quality app's in the app store."
