a short while back microsoft decided to do an advertising comeback to the wildly popular i’m a mac, i’m a pc ads. they decided to come up with something lighthearted featuring jerry seinfeld + bill gates. a campaign that ran microsoft a grand total of 300 million greenbacks. 10 million of which went directly to jerry for the commercial posted above.

well, today they announced that they were pulling the plug on the project since it didn’t get as much of a response as they had hoped. the news says Commercials were roundly criticized which i am assuming means people thought they were gaydar. watch the video above and make up your own mind. to be honest, i don’t even know what the commercial is trying to say? the only winner here is jerry. 10 million more $$$$$$.

vista will forever be the fall of microsoft imo. they really decided to make things complicated for reasons god only knows. there are like a hundred different versions of the operating system and all of my nerdy computer buddies that run on pc’s all have stuck with xp. apple is gaining market share at a rapid rate while microsoft continues to try and strong arm people into using their products. god, when silverlight came out i just about shit my pants. i thought to myself wtf is this?!? why do you guys keep pushing out sub-par crap!!!!??!?!?!!1

rant over…
