I thought this ad was pretty good. Def beats the "viral" style commercials that they were airing. Make me think Bill Gates is probably a really nice guy in real life....but people love to hate him and Microsoft.
It is funny how the only mention of Vista is at the very end and the rest of the commercial has nothing to do with it.....but this has been done in plenty of other commercials.

There is nothing.. appealing in it. The humour is forced. Shower in your clothes? El Conquistador?
It ends with Gates shaking his oversize old ass for you. Moist and chewy.
The worst part is everyone knows this is a campaign aimed at fixing people's view on Vista.
This only conforms there is something wrong with it.

watched it now for the second time....a few moments were cute, but i'm still in the 'i don't get it' group....maybe as the campaign goes on, i'll clue in, but as for right now, i think it's not really working...
hopefully i'll be proved wrong....would love to see it all come together as a great campaign....

It really makes no sense! Future?? I don't get it!

Yeah future is delicious... its Apple and Google

"Yeah future is delicious" deciphered:
delicious.com is yahoo, who they are about to chew.
Ehh.. time for a weekend.

it's charming but seinfeld is not relevant. one or more of the microsoft executives can be held responsible for that. probably gates. he probably wanted to talk about his car collection.

A goddamn monkey playing the drums to an old 80's hit, ending with 'Vista, we're baffled too.' would've made more sense to me than that shit.

I was waiting for Seinfeld to ask Gates if Microsoft was ever going to make an operating system that actually worked, that would of been gold!

all they know is wacky offbeat humor.

this is not wacky or offbeat. It's tired and played, I was waiting for Kramer to barreling in the door with a bucket of chicken.

150 for jerry 145 for bill 5 for some bloated wastful production that took 8 weeks

Wow, that was horrible. I guess this is the intro to a series, but couldn't it at least have been funny if it didn't talk about the product?

they should strengthen the brand while making fun of the apple tv ads. make some smarmy kid do yoga or something. Of course mentioning your enemy is generally a bad idea, but they're getting schooled pretty hard at the moment.
