Vista Commercial with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld
It has been reported that Jerry Seinfeld will earn about ten million dollars as part of a Vista advertising campaign. Here is an extended, minute and a half spot with Bill Gates:

I guess I am not ‘with it’ enough to understand the humour in this. Perhaps it is intended for cooler people. Is this commercial funny?

What’s the message? “Vista is hard, let’s go shopping!”

Hard core Microsofties insist the ad is very funny, many suggesting that those of us who don’t get it are just stupid. That’s like their attitude towards Microsoft in general: If you have a problem with Vista or other Microsoftware, it just means you’re stupid.
After viewing the ad, it’s obvious to me that Bill Gates is stupid. More than that, I think he’s a little mental - as are many of his supporters. Indeed, the ad itself suggested a couple aging former professionals struggling with Alzheimers or some sort of mental deficiency. Sheez.
