New Microsoft commercial, featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates
Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.â€
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila

Summary: Microsoft sucks so they have to make a stupid commercial with Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld.
But shouldn't the stupid commercial make at least some sense?

It's a commercial about nothing. Am I the only one who understands the reference and its attempt? It's a blatant attempt to transitively apply the goodwill of the public towards Seinfeld to Microsoft.
It's apparently the first of many to come, and it exists to set up the tone for the remainder and introduce a series.
Considering all of the publicity it's gotten, and the fact that so many people have intentionally seeked this out and watched it outside of just seeing it on TV, I find it funny people can consider it a failure...

I think the self-depreciating tone is quite refreshing compared to a certain firm's narcissism.

You had heard he retired, right?
