What do you think of the new Gates, Seinfeld, Microsoft Ad?

Here is the latest from the guys over at Microsoft. As many of you have witnessed, the first ad was somewhat confusing, but had some relatively funny moments. I've always loved Jerry Seinfeld so I might be a little bit biased towards theses ads, but either way I really like this newest one, I see their message and they pretty much say flat out that they are "trying to get closer to people"

This ad is very different from the first one so if you didn't like the first one, give this second one a chance and let us know what you think. Here are both of the ads in case you missed the first one.

What do you think?

Most of the commercial makes no sense, or its too filled with symbolism and turn-of-phrases to make a real connection with people. I think people who like Windows will stick with Windows, and those that don't like Windows won't be impressed.; ▶ Reply to This

They should give me them $300 mil, I'll buy Apple with that money and then make an iLookAtMeIPownedMicrosoftPodTouchPhone That will be 20 years ahead of its time with the funniest brand name ever!

See now that's creativity...; ▶ Reply to This
