New Microsoft Commercial, 2nd Part



The 2nd in the series of MS ads with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld got aired a few days ago.

Link here MS Ad

This is what I think.
The Mac commercials are horrible. They play down to a petty level where companies dig each other.
Much like the political farce in N. America, I don't need to see companies/individuals try to make themselves feel better by making someone else look bad.

Mac, I think, looks petty and not confident of it's abilities if it has to point out the flaws of other people to make itself look better.

The Mac commercials could easily have been as effective by portraying their ease of use without digging into Vista and MS.

My 2cents.

That said, I'm not quite sure what MS is trying to do with these ads. They are funny, but I haven't seen the larger picture yet, although they are creating buzz which is never a bad thing.
