Do you realize the networks take 22 commercial breaks during an NFL
game? In other words, every three minutes, the game stops for two
minutes.

No one deserves to sit through such an avalanche of shit. Why are you
sitting through it?

DVR the game for 90 minutes or get a PC program that can time-shift
(like Windows Media Center). Then just fast-forward thru non-stop
commercials, halftime, instant replay reviews, injuries, and promos
for whatever lame show FOX is promoting; Promos I am not watching
because I jump ahead ten seconds when I see one coming.

Could someone explain what that commercial is supposed to be selling?
If it is supposed to be selling Windows it missed by a thousand miles.

The operative word here is "Creepy King."

You could always record it on the dVR, watch and skip the commercials.

That is possible the worst commercial I've ever seen. I had to see it for a
second time before I saw the MS logo at the end because the ad is so
mind-numbing it's almost impossible to watch the whole thing & still be
registering anything by the end.

The fact that Dell is now charging $100 to "downgrade" (their term, not
mine) to get XP on laptops & PCs is a pretty strong indicator that the Vista
OS is not going over very well. If MS didn't have the PC world by the
balls, they would be in trouble. Luckily for them, or perhaps due to their
clever planning, there isn't a mainstream alternative that can dethrone
them, yet.

Go Bolts !

That Bill Gates "ass wiggle" was the worst part.

If this is thier competition to the "I'm a Mac" ad campaign, they might
as well start giving away free Macs.
