FWIW, I liked the ad.  To repeat my comment from the Seattle PI Times site linked above here:

"Reminds me of Sarah Palin introducing herself  the GOP convention last night. In Microsoft's case, it's a re-introduction. It was humanistic. Light and fluffy, and hinting of good things to come. People like to see gates/MS not taking themselves too seriously, and yet they respect and admire him, too. Though "retired" he's still a good face for the company. I liked it."
