While the advertising agencies all have their comments, if you miss the ending, you'll definitely NOT get this commercial featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld (I had to watch it twice to get it) and even then, the meaning is very obtuse at best: Basically, I think this is just meant to make us laugh and make us think that new things are coming. Unfortunately, Bill Gates is out of the day to day...

Featuring: A $10,000,000 Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates Agency: Crispin Porter + Bogusky Factoid: On top of Jerry's 10 million, this campaign's going to have an estimated 300 million bucks behind it. That is about the only the redeeming feature of this tv commercial. Thanks Dabitch.

Section: Computers , Software / Applications Microsoft has invested about $300 million dollars in a new advertising campaign featuring comic legend Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates, but their first foray, which aired September 4th, is questionable at best. The ad features Jerry Seinfeld going to a store known as Shoe Circus, which is presumably not a real place of business. He happens to meet Bill Gates...

[ Download Squad ] Except this time he's part of a $300 million advertising campaign for Microsoft that also seems to be about nothing. And while nothing might be kind of funny in 22 minute segments that are always about something at their core, the first Microsoft commercial starring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld really does seem to be about nothing.

It appears that Microsoft has finally gotten tired of Apple’s Mac & PC TVC cause this little piece must have cost a fortune. Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld seems like the perfect match to actually give Apple a good fight. However, I’m sorry to say this new TVC doesn’t deliver. It even makes Microsoft appear more boring than [...]

Microsoft baru merilis video iklan pertama mereka dengan dibintangin langsung oleh Bill Gates dan Jerry Seinfeld . Iklannya Gak Lucu, Gak Menghibur, Habis-habisin uang Microsoft saja kalau gw bilang. Dengar gossip sih si Jerry dapat bayaran $10, dan rencananya Microsoft akan mengeluarkan biaya USD$300 juta dollar untuk mempromosikan iklan itu. Kalau gw lihat sih gak ada yang salah dengan Jerry , aktingnya...

What do people say about the ad ? It does not even mention Microsoft or Vista. Why is Microsoft spending $10 million on it? Well, its cool, and I like it. More and more, ads are not supposed to fork out information. It just makes you feel good and reminds you that here is [...]
