You know Microsoft appointed comedian Jerry Seinfeld for their new ad campaign. So far their been two ads with Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates.
Watch the first one:

Watch the second one:

If you ask me I will say their whole campaign doesn’t seem to be working at all. After all I think they have failed to reach the audience they need to reach!
