   Lets see, in apple ads, apple is the young, hip 20 something.  In Windows ads, you have two old guys waddling off into the sunset.  Is this really what you want to portray?

   Nice that there is a place to watch it. I honestly don't watch sports all that much, so of course I missed it.

   However I'm not sure delicious and moist are good descriptors. After all, cake is delicious and moist. And as we all know, the cake is a lie.

   Yes. I went there.

   Terrible ad. We hear soft and moist and then see Bill Gates wiggle his butt. Are they trying to hook up? Jerry sure went out of his way to stalk Bill.

   first let me say i like Microsoft products.

   with that said i have to say this.

   this commercial sucked i think Microsoft needs to fire the ad agency they have. what did this so called commercial do. it had nothing about Microsoft in it. it had nothing about windows or office. it looked more like a shoe commercial. i have to say this was a waist of money. i don't know it did not do anything for me or anybody i've talked to. i just don't get it.

   it sure did not make me want to go out and try a Microsoft product. i thought a commercial is supposed to be about a product. oh well it's there money if they want to waist it' it's there business.

   how about a hard hitting ad on how apples are just over priced PC's with the same hardware thats in the computer your using with one deferents you pay half the price for the PC.

   if microsoft go's the wippy route this is just going to be a waist of 300 millon. but like i said your your money waist it if you want.

   Could Brad Brooks or someone from marketing please explain to us what the sam hill you are trying to advertise here? Slightly humorous, but I'm lost as to the messages you are trying to convey with the ad. Is this supposed to be a series with some amazing and "delicious" outcome at the end that will pay off, or is this going to be the next standard of advertising?

   You've now confused millions of people with this ad. As a stockholder, I'm starting to become terrified if this doesn't start to pay off soon. Mojave was really mediocre. This is just confusing as hell. Neither addressed what the market wants. What's next? Please tell me this gets better. Please.

    Just watched the ad. I liked it. Especially the Platinum card with the pic of the very young genius who would help transform the world as we knew it back then. No politician alive today can touch the legacy of Bill Gates. The road is always rocky, but this little ad made me smile; the future is still bright and all is well. Maybe you have to be fifty-something ...  or maybe I am just unusually happy right now because I just completed a flawless install of Service Pack 1. Indeed ... all is right as rain ... vanilla
