There's an obvious comedian Microsoft should have used ... http://notnews.today.com/2008/08/21/30/

Any direct attack on Macs will actually backfire. MS just needs to concentrate on reversing the Vista Sux notion they created on their own. That notion was not created by the Mac vs PC ads, merely commented upon.

Anything for a buck
Jerry will sell his soul for a buck. Look what he did to the Seinfeld co-stars.

TV Seinfeld was a Mac User
On his TV show, Jerry Seinfeld also had a Mac on his desk in his apartment. Who knew real life Jerry Seinfeld was a Windows user? Not that there is anything wrong with that... I hope the spots are better than Jerry's stupid bee movie I had to sit through with my son.

And yet, it's quite apropos
ersonally, I can't think of a better spokesman for Microsoft.
After all, Seinfeld starred in a show that was famously touted as being, "All about nothing."
And nothing is what Microsoft has promised in Vista:
No new file search system (that was scraped to get the program out the door before the end of the decade).
No ability to run the operating system without a substantial investment in better hardware.
No Microsoft OS alternatives to Vista anymore (unless you pay more to get Business Edition, then you can downgrade to XP, or buy an ultra-portable laptop on which Vista is too big to run).
Yes, Vista is pretty much all about nothing and nothing is what Seinfeld touted on his show. I guess Microsoft's thinking is if you're going to get nothing for your money, you may as well laugh about it.
Personally, I'll get Linux before Vista and laugh all the way to the bank.
