New Microsoft ads better than Bill and Jerry?
Well, no secret I’m one of the few who actually liked Microsoft’s Seinfeld ads. Always felt it was a great way to humanize the brand, and prepare it for a re-introduction to the world. In fact, I still feel that way. Judging from the buzz when they launched, I think it’s safe to say they were not widely “appreciated”.
Then there was the transition to “I’m a PC”, followed by the adorable Kylie – both of which received much more critical acclaim.
So here’s a new one to accompany the launch of Windows 7 today (by way of I Started Something) with a new tag line: “Windows 7 was my idea”.
What do you think?
