Microsoft's First Seinfeld Ad Airs: Shoe Circus

The first in presumably a series of ads show Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld in Shoe Carnival. A YouTube video (via Macenstein) is available.
Seinfeld was reportedly paid $10 million for his work in this series of ads. The goal of the ads are to revamp Microsoft's image.

I thought it was decent, but it doesn't say anything about Vista. If I just randomly saw that on TV, I think that I would be confused by it.
Edit: actually, after watching it again, I think it was a terrible ad.

Wasn't bad...I like Seinfeld, and it felt a lot like a quick burst of that, which is nice. The jump to Microsoft talk wasn't super smooth, but it was decent, over all an above average ad, I would watch it if it came on TV, I think

[sarcasm] That totally makes me want to go buy a copy of Vista. [/sarcasm]
Seriously though, that could be a commercial for anything until the end until they're like "oh, by the way, this is a commercial for Windows, we almost forgot."

Seems too clever for their own good, I imagine there will be a lot of very confused consumers after viewing this ad.
