1. Comment - New Gates and Seinfeld ad: do you get it yet?

   (Sep 14, 2008 - 10:25 PM)

   Seeing two guys who are "out of it" because they have "so much money" is kind of patronizing and demeaning to the viewer. Who knows? Maybe that's what they want.
   
   I would rather see an ad campaign where MIcrosoft's***ory is depicted chronologically from the beginning days with real non-professional footage and some cool music to mark each decade/time period. With $300M and 4.5 minutes per spot to play with, why overpay a one hit wonder like Seinfeld to push your product - the guy is just not funny anymore (come to think of it, I don't know if he ever was).
   
   This pseudo Laurel and Hardby bit is irritating at best. At least now I know why I use a Mac and have so far the past two decades. Just another indication of complacency when becoming a monopoly.
