Jerry Seinfeld will probably collect his full $10 million fee from Microsoft, even though the software giant has, effective immediately, killed all of his ad spots and promises no new ones. The ads, which featured Seinfeld and Microsoft wonderboy Bill Gates palling around shoestores and strangers' homes, got a collective thumbs down from the tech blogs, while the advertising industry halfheartedly got behind them. Nobody, however, seems to have asked the consumer what they thought of the ads, and really, that's who these spots were aimed at. But Microsoft caved to peer pressure, pulling the spots so as to not further anger the tech blogs who already hate the company. Is this Microsoft's new policy?: Listen to criticism. But, ugh, of course any new policy is, in typical Microsoft fashion, going to come with weekly updates.

Too bad. I saw my first one last night and I liked it. The two of them, shleppers :), had a chemistry and I quite enjoyed the commercial. But, alas, I'm a mere consumer, no one important. :)
Jerry needs to stay in retirement. His time has passed. Not the funny "it" guy he used to be.
I also enjoyed the two of them together. Yea they were kinda lame, but funny all the same. Like hms stated, "I'm a mere consumer", the one that doesn't matter.
