Sanity Loses?

Looks like Microsoft is, in fact, committed to two stupid things:

Earlier reports that they were being pulled were apparently incorrect (or, who knows, maybe MS decided to plow forward after all in a fit of utter insanity).

Update: Or maybe they are sane, and they are just trying to save face on the embarrassment. The new ad is actually pretty good - it recognizes that people don't see the PC as "cool", but that you can get **** done with one. If they have ditched the Seinfeld/Gates ads, then they get points for recovering quickly :)

But take it as akin to the AT&T commercials of 30 years ago.  The commercials weren't made to convince you to

buy the AT&T service, since you had no choice.  But to make you feel good about with your lack of choice.
