Two old farts pushing an outdated OS, that's a winner...
I can't believe Microsoft thought this was a good marketing strategy by bringing one old comedian and one old nerd to brand to an upcoming generation of computer users and buyers. These commercials were about as innovative as Microsoft's products. That explains why Apple's market share keeps increasing at the expense of Microsoft's market share decline.
