Jerry Seinfeld will fix that:

QUOTE
Michel Gondry, the innovative director of films, music videos and numerous TV commercials, is directing at least one of the TV spots starring Jerry Seinfeld touting Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating system, according to numerous reports. The ad agency Crispin Porter & Bogusky ... is overseeing the $300 million Windows advertising campaign starring Seinfeld. A Microsoft spokeswoman said, "Stay tuned, literally," but otherwise declined to comment ... the Seinfeld commercial, for which the comedian will be paid about $10 million, will debut on Sept. 4.

Getting more than a little bit desperate, aren't they? $300M 20 months after Vista is released? Meanwhile Apple will be just about to release 10.6. rolleyes.gif

Jerry Seinfeld is Kinda Funny, at least on "Seinfeld."

Robin Williams? Now he is funny!   rofl.gif  But I doubt that Robin would ever be a shill for M$...
