Who would have imagined that genius comedian Jerry Seinfeld would be approached by Microsoft and hired for one of the biggest advertising campaigns in Microsoft’s company. But I guess it takes a comedian to sell a product which has been laughed at for such a long time now.

Seinfeld will get about $10 million to star in a few new commercials. Joining him will be none other than retired Bill Gates. The new commercials will air starting with September 4th and we’ll serve them to you a minute later, as soon as they hit YouTube or similar sites. Microsoft will do anything to revitalize Vista until Windows 7 hits the market. Will we be fooled?

The funny things is that Jerry Seinfeld, the main character of the popular Seinfeld show always happened to own Macs. I wonder what computer does the real Jerry Seinfeld use.
