10 Million for This, Bill Gates/Seinfeld - Part II

I'm afraid. I believe I've lost the ability to laugh. One of the funniest men who ever graced my TV screen is in a commercial, and I simply cannot laugh.

Part II of the continuing saga (one can only hope Seinfeld gets a Mac and stops with these ads) was aired last week, and, like the first one, it sucked!

The reason Microsoft has been on the decline lately is quite simple: they simply cannot learn a lesson. Apple should have thought them that world wants simple and stylist, but, like their operation system, this commercial is fat, ugly, and makes no sense.

Shouldn't a commercial about Microsoft have Windows somewhere in it? Maybe just a logo at the end? Or heck, how about a computer somewhere in that house running, oh, I don't know--Windows?!

Instead it's our good friends Bill and Jerry living with some random family because they want to connect. Why do they want to connect? I have no idea.

10 Million for this?

You want to know what's wrong with Microsoft? Watch the video below. I'm not a Microsoft hater. I used to like them! I really did! But they keep coming out with really bad products. I don't like Apple, but at least they can come up with a stable platform. Heck, even the guys and gals at Ubuntu (if you too hate Apple, and are tired of bad Microsoft products, Ubuntu is a great OS once you get used to it) know how to get the job done, and that's free!

If you don't know about the video, basically Microsoft decided they'd go up against the Mac ads that have been running the last couple years; they are going to spend 300 million dollars on the ad campaign. And they pay Seinfeld 10 million to do the commercials. All that money and resource, and the below video is the best they can do!
