Wow, that's just brilliant!
Windows' image is no longer tarnished. They are now
being associated with old people at some circus shoe
store, being gandered at by non-english speaking people,
who seem to be confused as to who they are looking at,
and Bill ends with an underwear adjustment, all the while
talking to Jerry Seinfeld?

Whaah??

I can't wait for the next commercial, or (heheheh) did Jerry
get $10 mil for that?!?
