You see - Chiat's approach to Mac was "Let's make a good ad". Now, if Microsoft did anything witty and clever, it would look like they were copying Chiat. Therefore, they decided to go the complete other way to avoid any such accusations.

Not that anybody cares even remotely as much as I do, here is some more info on this campaign (taken from branddna.blogspot.com):

In an internal all-staff email Microsoft SVP Bill Veghte explains the new Seinfeld ads to employees:

“This first set of ads features Bill Gates and comedian Jerry Seinfeld. Think of these ads as an icebreaker to re-introduce Microsoft to viewers in a consumer context.

Later this month, as the campaign moves into its next phase, we’ll go much deeper in telling the Windows story and celebrating what it can do for consumers at work, at play and on-the-go.”
