Microsoft’s new commercial; epic…fail

Microsoft gave Seinfeld the boot and has released two new commercials: “I’m a PC: Pride” and “I’m a PC: Not Alone.” In just these first two commercials, Microsoft still isn’t talking about the benefits of Vista? Instead, after viewing the commercial, I now realize anyone can own a Microsoft computer, regardless of your race, gender, profession, political views, or country. Like we didn’t know that before? Why is Microsoft not telling us why we need Vista?

You would think with the beating Apple has given Microsoft in its Mac vs PC commercials that when Microsoft, the sleeping giant, finally roused itself to take swipe at Apple, it would actually come out swinging. At least, that is what many thought when Microsoft announced that it was sinking a cool $300 million on commercials. Thus far, we haven’t seen it.
