I compare M$/Apple competition to Coke/Pepsi.

Pepsi spends all of its commercial time downing Coke while Coke doesn't care and just makes some crazy CGI commercials.

Seinfeld in this commercial goes along with that whole 'it is about nothing' concept. I find the commercial intriguing.

 

   If MS pulled a pepsi and had a video of Britney Spears...or I guess in these days Jessica Alba dancing half naked singing as their commerical leading up to a 360 exploding in red white and blue stars I would find that it makes more sense then this one did.  

 

   Maybe they're still trying to make Bill Gates more likable after those videos of him testifying during the monopoly hearings?  Even still....300 million is a LOT of money even by Pepsi/Coke standards.

 

   It kinda works, the Pepsi thing, Pepsi makes more money worldwide then coke now by a pretty healthy margin.

Thx for posting that, while PepsiCo. does have higher gross revenue overall Coke is the more profitable of the two. Not to mention that PepsiCo. also has alot of revenue coming in from nonbeverage areas (frito-lay, Quaker) that most consumers dont even link with the PepsiCo. brand.
