According to the article, the new slogan for the product is "Windows, Not Walls".

Good luck with that.

Great show. Some episodes are absolute masterpieces, and the casting was always perfect.

He will appear with Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates in ads and receive about $10 million for the work, they say.

Not bad work if you can get it.....

I’d bet Jerry’s young trophy wife used an Apple to plagiarize “her” recipe book.

Seinfield’s great marketing slogan for MicroSoft.

“You like Apples? Not that there is anything wrong with that.” ;)

I didn't except for two episodes I was chided into see from folks at work. 1) The Contest (TMI for 30 minutes) and 2) Man Hands (Funny, but I had heard the whole story verbatim so it was like watching a rerun of "I Love Lucy".

On the show, Jerry had a MacIntosh in his apartment.

You can place me firmly in that club as well. Five minutes of the kvetching Jerry Lewis wannabee was all I could handle.

I watched 5 minutes once, and was so annoyed by their nothingness I turned it off.

I Wish I could do that with Windows....

I never watched it either. Who cares about a bunch of whiney New Yorkers.

Appearing with Gates, Seinfeld will be the “cool” guy. Just barely.

Maybe Vista will be portrayed as the soup Nazi (I saw it on youtube). Do it my way or “No computing for you!”

I don’t know about everyone else but I can’t pass through a window any more than I can pass through a wall.

I never "watched" it except for maybe two episodes. I think Seinfeld is terribly boring.

Microsoft Corp., weary of being cast as a stodgy oldster by Apple Inc.'s advertising, is turning for help to Jerry Seinfeld.

I can see the brilliance in this. This is an incredibly hip move by Microsoft.

If it were 1998.

Yep, nothing shows you're not stodgy than bringing in the guy who had that hip edgy show last century.

You kids! With your Offices, your Two Men, and When I Met Your Mother...aahhh! Now Seinfeld! THAT was a show... Now get the hell off my lawn!

Pushing an OS that’s about nothing, I see. Jerry Seinfeld, from Bee Movie, to B-software...

It carried a lot of “life lessons”...like “shrinkage”.
