Microsoft - The best is yet to come...
Has anyone seen the new Microsoft commercial? I'm not saying that Bill Gates is pandering, but when it was over my fly was down and my TV smelled like White Diamonds...

Oh man, what a load of b.s. Hmmm... why can't I see comments posted by others?

I just saw that during ER and almost squirted soda out through my eyelids. Who's Bill's publicist? "The Best is yet to Come?" Please, please, please don't stop spending all your money on my programs, just because some mean old judge thinks we're too big. Talk about image advertising.

Shurely shome mishtake! It's a typo, shouldn't that be 'Freedom to Dominate' network?

Any idea where this commercial is on-line and/or available for download? As we say here C'est bon de rire parfois. Rough translation : sometimes it's good to have a laugh.

I found myself completing his sentences. "Our goal as a company..." ...is world domination and to publicly thumb our nose at the US Government by appealing using a continuing defense based on specious arguments?

Subtlty has never been Microsoft's and Bill Gates' best suit. This also goes to show that money cannot buy intelligence.
