A $300 Million Marketing Failure?

I saw the first of Microsoft’s advertising campaign to strike back at Apple’s ‘Mac vs PC’ campaign. After reading that Microsoft spent $300 million on the ad campaign and watching the video on Youtube. I can only say, ‘BULLSHIT!’ It will be hard to get people to talk about Windows when they are showing such lousy advertisements. Why don’t Microsoft use the $300 as rebate to their customers instead? I am pretty sure that it will be a more welcomed move than an advertisement featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld. The quality is just not there.

Take a look for yourself. I can only tell you that it sucks. Big time!
