Windows. Life Without Walls: No More Jerry Seinfeld

The blogosphere is brimming with news that Jerry Seinfeld will no longer feature in future Microsoft consumer ad videos (the first two was ‘The Future, Delicious’ and ‘Perpetually Connecting’.

Too bad for Jerry, I was beginning to enjoy his involvement with Microsoft. Hope he’s not going to be sore with Microsoft. :-)

So, who’s going to replace Jerry Seinfeld? No idea but according to MG Siegler from VentureBeat ( he found this out after reading about it in The New York Times), Jerry’s ‘replacement’ would be Microsoft’s very own engineer that look very much like John Hodgman of Apple’s ‘PC vs Mac’ commercials.

Do you know what that means?

It means that Microsoft is fighting back and ready to wage a big commercial war with Apple, as matter of fact Microsoft has pumped $300 million into their war chest!

Microsoft has also launched a new web site that comes with a brand new theme; ‘Windows. Life Without Walls’ (or is it ‘Your World Through Windows’?). The site is in preparation for their new campaign that will be launched later today.

Ho! Ho! This is going to be fun to watch! :-)

Adrian Kingsley-Hughes from ZDNet said that Jerry Seinfeld collected a cool $10 million from those Gates & Seinfeld Microsoft consumer ad videos. Is that true?
