Epic fail? We'll see.

The whole point & there was only was ONE point: to humanize Bill & therefore to attach a FRIENDLY HUMAN face to Microsoft - not just some remote trillionaire. And Bill - to his credit - agreed to be humanized. Seinfeld is just familiar fluff to capture the target market.

The Apples ads - I despise negative ads btw, but they often work - have the cool friendly generic happening Apple user guy versus the MS nerd. To the mindless unwashed the conclusion is: Apple = cool MS = boring

MS have a celebrity user series coming next. It's fun to watch the sparing.
