For the money being paid, this has to be one of the worst commercials made.

I heard the team that thought up Vista also made this commercial.

There is one good thing out of this. Someone is going to take that small little clip where Gates wiggles his underwear out of his butt and make a “Dancing Bill” for us internet junkies. /s

The only part which came close to being almost funny was the shoe club card with Bill Gates old picture on it.

It's a commercial about nothing.

How much did they pay him? I noticed Bill Gates was somewhat of a low talker in this commercial. Jerry looked a bit of a dandy.

Same here. The rest of the family just looked at each other after the commerical and said “What was that about and what was it suppose to mean?”

Never have found anything by Seinfeld funny. I couldn’t even watch the entire video because it is so boring.

My first thought was, "Why in the world did Microsoft, one of the world's best marketed software companies, hire the people who did the marketing for Novell? Are they trying to commit suicide?"

Yes, but that’s what makes it fascinating.
