Seinfeld and Gates...

OK, I love Seinfeld and Bill Gates has a personality and a sense of humor. But, does anybody think these new Vista ads are absolutely terrible at selling the product? I mean, Microsoft must have spent millions upon millions of dollars to rebut the "Get A Mac" ads, and this is what they came up with? I mean, comparing Vista to a churo?

Don't get me wrong, I find the "Get a Mac" ads to be pretty arrogant and annoying depending on the ad, but at least they are describing the product in some way. You could ask someone, hey does OS X really allow you to back up files that easily? What would you ask with these Vista ads, does the Vista box taste like a Mexican dish?

Well, I'll say this much.

The commercial had little to do with computers, and upon multiple viewings, just wasn't that funny.

Why would jerry seinfeld help the richest man in the world buy shoes at a crappy shoe store/call shoes conquistadores/joke about wearing clothes in the shower.

What does it have to do with any microsoft products.

bleh.

Microsoft needs to fire their entire marketing department and hire a new one.
