I thought it would be a disaster.  I was wrong.  The adds are genius delicious.

Priceless? I thought it cost 100M?

I've seen the first one (shoe land)

It was pretty predictable. An attempt to make Bill Gates and microsoft seem cool - in a post Napoleon Dynamite world, dumb and weird is cool - because they've got zany old Seinfeld.

I'm sure as they get in to the meat of it we'll see something a bit more solid though.

I've seen that commercial twice....and I've had the same reaction after both occasions:

"................wtf was that?"

It's so funny to see Bill Gates in that post-Napoleon Dynamite world.

Jerry Seinfeld- the man, the myth, the legend (insert descriptive term here)

It was pretty funny.

Whether it's effective or not will depend on the follow ups.

Seeing as how they already bought the cow, MS may as well try to get a much milk possible out of it.

I thought the shoe land commercial was hilarious, even if it had little to nothing to do with MS or their products.

It was effective only from the standpoint that Bill Gates is instantly recognizable as both the Mickey Mouse (mascot) and the Walt Disney (founder) of the company.

Not half as pointless as the fuss over paying the Rolling Stones a fat chunk of change (tens of millions, negotiated over months) to use their song Start Me Up to sell Windows 95.

I love the commercial, mainly because I love Seinfeld.

its a funny commercial i suppose
