However, the credibility of this new campaign by Microsoft begins to break down when you consider one very important fact: Have you ever noticed what kind of computer is a subtle but consistent fixture in Jerry’s apartment on Seinfeld?  Have a look (about :45, look close in the background).

A Sad Day for Two Reasons

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

First, obviously, it’s kind of a sad day when anyone dies (except Saddam and his ilk, of course).

Second, who’s going to introduce us to all the “worlds” from now on?

Aaaahhh…Refreshing Candor
