Title: Microsoft hires Stodgy old man in effort to drop image of being stodgy old man. Post by: Merusk on August 21, 2008, 05:31:25 AM http://www.alleyinsider.com/2008/8/microsoft-hires-seinfeld-to-make-it-cool-but-is-seinfeld-still-cool-
Ok, Seinfeld was cool, once. Maybe. That was 10 years ago, though. Even then his personna was always more of a conservative, somewhat stodgy guy, not a free-spirited bohemian, though. Plus he's over 50. Way to target the early 20's demographic with that choice. :uhrr: Title: Re: Microsoft hires Stodgy old man in effort to drop image of being stodgy old man.

So now everyone pays an extra $25 on the next version of an overpriced, broken Windows. Why the hell does Microsoft need to improve their image? They've already proven that they can release a super-duper turd of an o/s and people will still flock to it. They need to seriously take that money and use it to make the *next* version not suck.

Post by: NowhereMan on August 22, 2008, 04:17:04 AM The PC and Mac guys in the UK are a pair of comedians whose characters in their most successful shows are a boring conservative social intovert and a mooching bum that claims to be an artists but is entirely untalented and unsuccessful. I think they cast them quite well.
