Video: Microsoft Releases First Vista Advert With Seinfeld... I Scratch My Head.
Microsoft has released the first in a series of ads featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld to combat Apple's Get a Mac adverts, and the results are... well, you really just have to watch how strange it is:
As our own tiny dancer predicted, the ad tries too hard to seem viral while making it painfully obvious that it misses the mark. It's like Microsoft is *that* dad that tries to be "cool and hip and 'with-it'" but just ends up embarrassing both himself and his progeny with a failed terrorist fist jab.
Typical Microsoft.

Within one hour of its unboxing, The One became the undisputed ruler of Tiny's entire home. Buy this or despair.
I cannot believe how pathetic that commercial was. Seriously, I am not a Mac head but after seeing that I feel the need to run over to the Apple store and buy something.
What the holy fuck was that? Why can't Microsoft create a cool - or at least not lame - commercial? No one expected this to be a big hit and yet they couldn't even meet our lowered expectations. A shoe store? Random Hispanic family? Bill wiggling his butt as if anyone wanted to see his ugly ass sway back and forth? What the hell?
I wish we had Shoe Circus stores here. They look like great places to shop.
Oh wait. I think I missed the point. Was there one?
That ad makes me want to go have a churro.
The best comment I heard about the ad campaign is that Bill is making Jerry wear the puffy OS.
What the fuck was that?
I think the crying baby PS3 ads made more sense than this does.
