Microsoft’s ad campaign has seen some wild, and unconventional turns since the original Bill Gates/Seinfeld commercials. While those made me die a little on the inside, the latest ads at least make sense. They’re still hokey, but that at least have a point to them. The latest ‘Rookie Challenge’ ads feature a 9 year old vs. a90 year old, 8 vs. 80, and 7 vs. 70. They compete by using different functions for Windows Live Gallery. A program that Microsoft is really trying to sell to the people.

Kind of feel bad for the Windows engineers. I’m sure when they were learning computer engineering in college, this isn’t what they thought they’d be doing. Allen is my favorite competitors, mostly because I hope I’m like that when I’m 70.
