joel This weekend’s NFL football games featured a 90-second television ad for Microsoft featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates shopping for shoes and eating churros. What any of this has to do with moving the Vista platform off the shelf is beyond me.
The spot is quite random, with the discussion of discount shoes and showering with your clothes on. In fact the word “Microsoft” is said only once during the spot. But hiring Seinfeld for a reported $10 million and allowing him to do his “yadda, yadda, yadda” routine might help lighten up the image of the monolithic corporation and its struggling operating system. The campaign is getting mixed reviews. What do you think?
