Seinfeld back with the Mac in latest Curb episode
Didn't it seem like it was ages ago that those Microsoft commercials with Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates commercials aired? You know, the one with the shopping for shoes, as well as the one with the duo bonding with a family. Don't remember? Well, apparently neither does Jerry Seinfeld, who was purportedly paid USD $10 million for the commercials.
In the latest episode of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm -- which happens to be one of my all time favorite shows -- Jerry is actively discussing ideas with Seinfeld creator, Larry David. In the scene, a MacBook Pro is prominently shown on Jerry's desk.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Jerry got paid megabucks to act in MS ads—that's what actors do. In real life, and on shows he controls in real life, he uses whatever he wants.

Perhaps so!
those ads were about windows? I thought it was reality tv. Of course he uses a mac!

There are some programs you just have to go over to the darkside to use.

...pretttyy Good.
Wasn't Jerry also in one of the original switch ads?

not newsworthy... nobody uses PC's.. just banks,offices and hardcore gamers..
OK, take a step back for a sec. I know we all (or most of us) here love our Macs far more than anything that ships with Windows, but the words "nobody uses PCs" don't make much sense in any context when Windows still has 90%+ share of all personal and business computers.

Obviously those are just US numbers, reflecting the developed world's attitude towards Macs. I'm living in China, and hardly anyone has a Mac here. It's a developing country, that's why. They also steal lots of software and use 1997 computers. This is PC Country ;)
He did one of the HP ads when The Bee Movie was about to come out a couple years ago. He was quite clearly saying that he used a PC in that one. Not that I care and I have both a PC and a Mac myself so wouldn't put it past Seinfeld to have both as well.
