    That was.. Interesting.. different.

    Hopefully the rest of the adverts will actually have a purpose, I suppose this could be too much to ask though, given that we are talking about MS.

    You'll have to wait until SP1 is out
    My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?

    0iD: Plus weeing in it every now & again does it good
    scaryjim: 10" is just a little large to hold comfortably in one hand, which makes it a lot harder to tap, swipe and generally interact with.

    Re: News - Gates and Seinfeld kick off Microsoft Windows ad campaign

    God I hate these stupid adverts that have no meaning and no correlation to the product their trying to sell.

    It's like that recent Orange advert with that guy riding a bike saying "I am my mum, dad, brother, sisters boyfriends cousin", how exactly does that advertise that your a mobile phone company?

    What are they trying to say?

    The shoe shop isn't where you should get your shoe's fitted? Jerry Seinfeld should fit them for you? Jerry says computers are rubbish, when will this stop? and Bill says soon by wiggling his bum??

    THATs the start of the big M$ ad campaign?

    doesn't really promote m$'s professional image. that was nothing more than a dirty ad.

    m$ needs to fire their PR people.
