Report: $300 million ad campaign to change software company's image.
Junior Mints, Yoo-hoo, Drake's Coffee Cakes, puffy shirts: These are all things Jerry Seinfeld has endorsed — at least in his alter ego on his classic sitcom. Now, add Microsoft software.
Seinfeld will be a key pitchman in a planned $300 million fall advertising campaign for the software giant, a person familiar with the plans confirmed to The Associated Press on condition on anonymity because the deal has not been formally announced.
The Wall Street Journal first reported the plans. Citing people close to the situation, it reported the comedian will be paid $10 million for appearing in ads with Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates.

If Mac brought down it's price a bit I would consider buying. Vista is a piece of shit.

At least MS isn't stooping down to Apple's level with attacks. All they're trying to do is improve their image and not attacking their competition.

The ads are funny but I don't think there compatible with commercials due to the way the jokes portrayed are drawn out. They would be better for a sitcom.
