I think this Seinfeld nonsense typifies the problem with Microsoft - and to an almost similar extent - Apple. Both had (past tense) very good operating systems that offered stable and reliable platforms with pretty good, intuitive interfaces that a huge chunk of the computing public spent time getting used to and comfortable with. But instead of paying attention to their customers by making their good systems better, they now ignore their customers and pay attention to each other instead, playing some purile, immature game of oneupmanship that drags them both into the class of "just being silly". Meanwhile Linux looks, and works, better and better. There's a paradigm shift coming, and it's coming sooner than they think.

No, Microsoft and Apple have a marketing team to do the job.
Marketing team /= Programmers
Also, Jerry wouldn't say a word about Macs. Microsoft don't want to attack Apple, it's part of their strategy to render the Mac vs PC ads ineffective.

Well done Microsoft. Well done buying Jerry Seinfeld, an icon whose relevance and popularity peaked in the mid nineties...much like Microsoft's. |

Jerry Seinfeld?
His show was a show about nothing, even he admits that.
Now his ads will also be about nothing?
Does anyone care that nothing is all that comes out of his mouth?
Actually, on reflection: does anyone care at all? |

hehe I don't care what their strategy is.. I just want to hear some lame pun/joke that I can repeat when drunk!
I'd like to hear the Seinfeld theme song play when I boot up the next Windows OS. Maybe even a complete Seinfeld windows theme so whenever I get an error it makes the mouth popping noise. Awesome. |

Microsoft spent over US$150 million to bail Apple out of financial trouble in August 1997, apart from the fact that Microsoft Office is available on the Mac so it may not be to their own interest if Microsoft starts to bag Mac's operating system. Having said that, it would be fun to hear what Jerry Seinfeld has to say. |
