What’s the deal with Vista? Ask Jerry Seinfeld

August 22, 2008

Ben Worthen reports that comedian Jerry Seinfeld will be doing ads for Windows Vista — not that there’s anything wrong with that — and he has some ideas.

“An ad based on the famous contest episode, where Seinfeld and the Mac guy see how long they can go without rebooting. Or riffing on the same episode, one where Seinfeld uses his Vista PC to become master of his own Internet domain. He could have a run in with the tech Nazi, only to be saved by his PC, or face off against an overzealous software-licensing detective.”
