After watching the ad again and a~gain...
Does the shoe circus has anything to do with Mac or Maybe Microsoft?
When I first watched it, I thought it was an Apple store with all of the glass and what not.
Got a tip for us?

Not to mention, the customer entering the store at frame 1:14 is carrying what appears to be an iMac box. Who knows, there might also be referential meaning behind the reiteration of '10':
"He's a X"
"X"
"Better"
"That's a X"
"Guess what Bill, you're a(n OS) X"
In reference to 'delicious,' MS seems to be taking a cue from a comment made of OS X after the turn of the century: "OS X, it looks so good, you'll want to lick it." (originally: "... we made the buttons on the screen look so good, you'll want to lick them..")
If you really believe that blue screens are "common" with Vista, you should try running it for a long, long time.
I bet that you'll never see one....
ehehehehe

Kudos to MS - they've finally achieved synchrony of something tangible within the realm of their OS.

I wonder if they were running Vista on that computer that blue screened at the Olympic opening ceremonies that was projecting one of the images onto the canopy.
Check the memory and other hardware on your homebuilt E6400, a blue-screen during installation is most likely a hardware fault or incompatibility.
While checking the hardware, don't forget to check the keyboard. Yours seems to have a broken caps key and omits much needed punctuation.
I wouldn't blame Vista because you've installed crap VPN drivers.
I call BS on this one.
The laptop under the cat is not showing an NT BSOD, of course.
As far as the Olympics BSOD - they were probably running on cheap Chinese hardware without ECC memory or other basic reliability features.

Without a doubt.
I wish Microsoft would have just went ahead and said what they really wanted to say instead of us having to try and decode the commercial.
It does look like an iMac box, hm.
A bag that perhaps could hold an Imac? Boy, you people can be ludicrous.
However, it's quite possible. Since the "customer" is going *into* the mall with the bag, perhaps he's returning the Imac because he discovered that it had a crappy, cheap 6-bit display....
Happy customers don't go *into* the mall with packages.
I don't know about you, but I carry a MBP box everytime I go into the mall just to make people jealous!
What's not to get? In the future, you'll be able to eat computers like cake. Seems simple enough.
Gates surely has climbed to comparable rarified heights of aristocracy as Marie Antoinette. Debates over attribution aside, cake seems apropos. Qu'ils mangent de la brioche! Let them eat cak...uh...computers!
Well I bet Steve Jobs is scared now. Really scared.
I don't know about you guys, but I just chucked my Macbook and went out and bought an HP laptop with Windows Vista Home Premium Ultra Supreme Business Edition.

Today in business studies our teacher was telling about how apple has caused such a big boom in their product name causing a recession in sony and microsoft products.
But he also commented on how " the apple switch ads are really funny. And microsoft got Jerry Seinfeld and aired their ad and it tanked!" Lol

By the time you get to high school you'll probably realize how misguided your teacher is...
Microsoft's "recession":
Your business teacher thinks that Apple caused the current problems with Sony and Microsoft?! What verticals do Apple and Sony compete in? For that matter, most of Microsoft's income comes from verticals that Apple doesn't compete in. And to blame Apple for Vista's failure is a head scratcher!
I'm glad you can,on some subjects,provide some good(though readily available)information. What isn't emphasized in your MS report is how MS is losing market share to Apple and as that happens Apple picks up far more revenue than MS ever could through it's OS alone.Thats why Apples earnings are almost as high as MS already! And remember that Microsofts' fourth quarter earnings for 2008 fell below Wall Street expectations. Market-share will cause a reccession within Microsoft and buying Yahoo isn't going to change much at all,but I guess they have to do something with all that money!(lucky Seinfeld too!)
Massive tech growth generaly won't give MS a future!
And just to make something else clear to you. Apple does compete against MS in all of it's so called "verticals" ie business software.The only area where Apple doesn't currently compete is with the Xbox and even that is starting to change.

Ahhh, cheap chinese hardware - you mean just like most PCs in use today?
