The new Microsoft ads have been out for awhile now and they are a serious improvement over the previous Seinfeld and Gates ads that preceded them.
If I assume that Microsoft’s goal was to reach out and connect with real people to begin with, I’m not sure why they didn’t immediately start with this campaign […]

The video above is the extended version of the 2nd Microsoft advertising campaign with Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates.
Now that we’ve all seen the 2nd commercial in the new Seinfeld/Microsoft advertising campaign and giving our opinions, Microsoft is getting rid of Seinfeld. They’re saying it was all part of the […]

As I was enjoying the opening game of the NFL season tonight I got to catch one of the new commercials starring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld.
The commercial appeared to me to follow in the footsteps of the TV show “Seinfeld” and was a bunch of nothing.
Did anyone else think this too? I’ve watched […]

I was directed to a blog today that talked about Alex Bogusky, a guy that was a Mac user and responsible for some great advertising and marketing campaigns using Apple’s famous products. He’s now working on the new PR push of Microsoft that will be launched soon.

In his last public speech, he speaks to developers about the past 33 years and some of the products we’ll be […]

The folks over at Engadget are live blogging the Microsoft launch of Windows 7. It’s weird to think about the next version of Windows already. Vista only seems like it’s been out for a little while. I guess it’s mostly because there was so much time between Windows XP and Windows Vista.

It seems Bill Gates is in touch with reality and understands that DRM is just a pain in butt for most people.

You’ve got to visit the Engadget website for a great photo of Steve Jobs and Bill Gates having dinner together.
It’s a caption contest, so be sure and leave your best remark up there for all to see. Here’s mine:
“Steve, I can’t believe you got me a MacMini running Vista for Christmas!”

Heather over at Heather’s “Marketing at Microsoft” Blog shares her thoughts about the changes.
I think the potential of Bill to become the biggest philanthropist of all time is pretty cool. The thought of his mind focusing on health care and education issues full time has a broader potential impact, so my excitement around this comes […]
