Microsoft is going to die

So apparently, microsoft has lost so much money because of the mac vs PC advertisement series that portrays windows as a dorky, chunky business man and mac as a cute, hipster. In order to combat it, they are coming out with an advertsiment series staring Jerry Seinfeld to help bolster windows vista. This is the first in the series and Seinfeld is being paid $10 million for his work in the series.

I seriously cannot fucking believe how lame it is. I would think this is going to be the death of microsoft. Check it out.

I almost bought a lunix-based UMPC... until I started using OneNote, which I am totally loving. Evil has won the battle. :-( (If it wasn't free from UB, I wouldn't be using it!)

(hmmmm... a little research shows :::link::: Notebook might be an able competitor....)

I don't understand the Microsoft ad my self. I did like it but that is because I thought it was for some shoe place no one had ever heard of then they leave and it is for windows, I don't get it.

And I agree, word for word.

Microsoft can never die till office of the world (eg. Roswell) don't bow down to its inefficient monopoly and dumb users like me are too scared to jump ship to Linux (because of dumbness and a certain lame laziness and lack of comforting software) and too un-hep to justify the cost of a ultra-elitist Mac.

drew writes at 10:39:00 09/05/08 - Comment #38628: No commercial will ever convince me to buy another Microsoft product.

Next time its either open source or Mac.

And we should be excited about Bill Gates getting a better pair of shoes and shorts.
A former comedian with a terrible recent movie helped him see the light.

Exactly. HUH?
