Just watch those ads and tell me that Larry David wasn't their first choice?
Those ads would have worked with Larry David ? but Seinfeld, I just don't see it.
I think the ads are pretty lame ? there are far more creative ways to expose Apple's shortcomings. You just have to go to an advertising agency rather than an 'alleged' comedian.

I see your point and he may have been the inspiration, but there is no chance in hell that unlikable Larry David would have been associated with Bill Gates and MS. As much as I love Curb Your Enthusiasm, MS has enough image problems as it is.
Are these "regular folks" who use Windows instead of Mac the same people who choose Leno over Letterman, and McCain over Obama? When did mundane become better than elite?
I don't know, we should ask Ellen Feiss and whatever ad agency hired her.
I guess Microsoft isn't the only company to play to the proletariat in addition to the literati.

The new ads start with a MS engineer who looks like John Hodgman (wonder how long it took to find him in MS).
He says:
