I like the new Microsoft advert – it’s the perfect antidote to the very twee, stereotype endorsing Apple ads. And much better than the decidedly annoying Seinfeld / Gates adverts. What do you think?

Chutzpah · defined as: supreme self-confidence, nerve, gall
yeah I really like that – I was thinking yesterday that the previous two ads seem to make the whole microsoft thing more confusing but maybe that was the point – they get our attention with these first couple of ‘random’ ads and then hit us with this which is really nice and actually really does seem to diffuse the I’m a Mac I’m a PC ads – in fact I think it makes Apple look really childish
I like the ad . Simple and clear is the way to go. I still belive though that Microsoft could do better if they tried . Having a limitless budget ( see Seindfelds 10kk $ ) does not guarantee success if you have a bad ideea and a very blury view of were you are and wish to go.
