It just reeks of desperation to me. Trying to be cool and Appley but just failing miserably.

This has been my favourite for a while:

I don't know, I think it represents Vista very well:

no real aim, unsure of target audience, being about nothing, no real substance.

my favourite penny arcade -> http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2006/01/04/

also - i liked the second add.. had some good bits.. and i think it did (in the end) promote a point about connecting people etc.

This one is much better, a clear message and pretty damn funny. Seems like the first one was just to explain why Gates and Seinfeld would be hanging out... though that PA pretty much sums it up perfectly.

Nothing says 'future software' more than a television celebrity from the early 90s.

if you're honest with yourself, you'll probably see that it was a combination of video games and watching those vids that gave you those feelings

all you need now to cause you to act on those feelings, is to watch 5 minutes of a big brother episode

Another ad that has Bill briefly in it. I don't know if this is old or new, but this one was only posted yesterday.



From what I've read, the Jerry ads have been a failure and they won't be doing any more of those.
