I kind of liked the first ad (haven't seen any others yet). It was like the Seinfeld show itself. A commercial about nothing, but entertaining. Yep. I liked it. And if they're going to continue in much the same vane, then they need to use Gates so that people will know it's about Windows and Microsoft.

>Windows makes more money than FoxPro. If you watch the campaign, it's a progression, each builds on the first. I thought the second add, especially when you see the full 4+ minutes online, was much better than the first.
