Once again, the comedy duo of Gates and Seinfeld are at it again.
This time, the explain what the commercial is about and the message isn’t good: “Connecting” with people is like an awkward pairing of dysfunctional people trying to live together, which ends with Gates and Seinfeld being kicked out of the house.
Yep, “dysfunctional”, that’s a word we use a lot to describe Microsoft software!
Let’s just pick on a couple things: Gates and Seinfeld are terrible guests (complaining about food, etc) and crooks (essentially stealing the Chinese food rather than paying for it. Who’d be dumb enough to try a dine-and-dash with delivery food? Bill and Jerry. Ace criminals.)
And I love the bit where Bill apparently gives them some fantastic program and reveals that it’s never going to be released. Does that sum up Microsoft, too? No, because I don’t believe they really have any great software in the wings, but it does speak to their business philosophy, doesn’t it? Whatever it is about it is not about quality software.
