• This ad wasn't about nothing. First of all, looking into the shoe shop, Gates had the chance of selecting a shoe which fits him. Windows 'ecosystem' is like that. Different computers of various shapes and forms which fits your needs. Also the flexibility of the shoe compares to that of Windows. (Linux also)
  
  About Seinfield having shower with his clothes on, that refers to the Mac. You are not legally permitted by Apple to build from scratch like some personal system builders can do on Windows or Linux platform. Macs come pre-built from Apple (Psystar and co are seen as illegal in Apple's eyes). You are not legally allowed to build from bare bones or naked PCs.
  
  At least at the end when Seinfeld asked "Are they ever gonna come out with something that will make our computers moist and chewy like cake so we can just eat them while we're working? If it's yes, give me a signal. Adjust your shorts." and Gates gave a sign. Microsoft is placing some Windows gurus at some Best Buy stores to convince people to buy Windows PCs. Some people wether in small numbers after seeing this ad would be curious as to what the new product from Microsoft is and some of these people will end up talking to these guys who will convince them to buy Microsoft products.
  
  This particular ad was made for people to figure out what is going on and therefore make them follow the subsequent ones which will need no brainer to uncover the reason behind it. (Just like how the Playstation 3's 'This is Living' ad started)
  
  I know bashing MS of late is a fashion but come on guys, just think about it and you'll get it. In reply to: "Microsoft begins big ad push"

• Molly, sorry if what was said about the silverlight issue made you sad. I got what you actually pointing to but was only "correcting" part of what was said. Sorry once again but would like to hear you praise Apple better than you have these days (especially after the iPhone 3G launch). In reply to: "Buzz Out Loud 778: Google, get off my lawn!"

• Molly, Silverlight is also available for Windows XP and Mac OSX and not only Windows Vista. Onsome Linux distros, it's called Moonlight. In reply to: "Buzz Out Loud 777: Eight-letter word for fail: Scrabble"

• First of all, Windows division made a profit not a loss which was higher than last year and two years ago as well. The company overall made a profit and not a loss or a break-even.
  
  It is the online services they made a loss, some due to acquiring other small companies for that division. They will need to spend (Invest) more into that area of business if they are ever going to earn anything from there b'cos that market belongs to Google. Microsoft can't snatch that from Google so will have to fight for second place. In reply to: "Microsoft ready to lose more money online"

• Windows division made a profit and was better than a year ago as well as two years ago. Overall the company made a profit not a loss. They will need to invest in the Web side if they are to ever get anything from the place b'cos that market belongs to Google. There is no way Microsoft can snatch that from Google so they have to compete for second place. In reply to: "Microsoft ready to lose more money online"

• Actually O2 was using iTunes to activate instore in UK and not IE (IE is not what is used to activate an iphone).
  The problem I think was with the servers being hammered.
  Had to wait longer at Cardiff O2 shop. In reply to: "Buzz Out Loud 764: iPhail?"

• You guys shouldn't be angry at the writer. It's his choice so you can't be saying he's harsh but I'm wondering how he's so sure Vista is a bloatware if he hasn't or doesn't used it.
  
  Hmmmm.
  
  I remember on time he reported some fake OS marketshare story claiming his source was from Hitslink (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-9937838-16.html) but when I checked Hitslink what he claimed was false.
  
  He later wrote giving excuses (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-9938600-16.html)
  
  What a writer he is. In reply to: "Microsoft's Vista is definitely a "New Coke" moment...of truth"

• Safari for Windows does not tag the files as downloaded from the internet which is quit problematic but I wouldn't recommend Safari for any one if Firefox is available.
  Just don't use Safari cos Firefox is way better than it if you're not going to use IE In reply to: "Microsoft warns of Safari for Windows blended attacks"
