Point: Microsoft goes around the bend with the second Bill and Jerry "ad"

... chuckle at Seinfeld's dry humor and Gates's robot act, but how does that help Microsoft?
I'm afraid that just like the eponymous show of the nineties, this ad is about nothing in particular. That might have worked for a TV show of yore, but Microsoft's gonna have a hard time selling Vista (or anything else for that matter) using the same technique. But hey, as long as they're amusing, keep doing what you will--at least we can get a chuckle out of the whole thing.
