Microsoft has paid Seinfeld $10,000,000 for a series of campaigns.

Alright for some. I didn't really get the adverts. I preffered the Get A Mac ones.

That really was bad. Apple do some classy funny adds and microsoft return with some bloody geeky add with bill gates.

Really really strange

But then again, the Apple ones are really crap and childish.

Wooo, 2 out of 3 major OS/computer manufacturers are now showing crap ads, now all that needs to be done is a Linux one :P

It wasn't tooo bad, just a bit random. It's more of a clip for a new TV show with Bill Gates in there. Or maybe a very boring film :P

I agree.. idiotic and totally untrue on many cases with their adds..plus they make Bill look fat.

On the plus side though, the PC man looks successful and has an organised family. Mac on the other hand is a modern day hippy with no job and a terrible family (judging the ads :P).

Can someone seriously tell me what does it mean. I really have no idea lol. I prefer the mac ones, simpler and to the point. No subtle meanings, just right in your face.

Its so successful because its so random and crap. It will have people talking about it which is exactly what its aim is.

I don't think Microsoft needs any advertising like this. If someone asks you to name two operating systems, you automatically go "Windows and _____". It's just common nature.

I don't really get the meaning of their adverts. It doesn't make me go, Oo I should use windows or something. Well the mac adverts didn't make me buy a mac, but I class them as humor type adverts. Hmm, I'm not sure what they are trying to do here.

I find these adverts hilarious, for those of you who don't understand them I can sum it up very simply

Microsoft are Trolling Apple
