You are on to something here, Mark. Could a "Simple Life" clone be on the horizon?

I've only seen two, they seem to be coming out in order, somewhat.

I didn't like the Shoe shopping one, it seemed forced. But the first one where they've moved into the house,, i definitely loved that one. And i like that this is a story that's being rolled out slowly. 'Why are they in some random house' and Jerry later explaining it to Bill.

Can someone sort out the comments? They are spilling out of the column and part of the sentence is being cut.

I agree Mark, and it's really great to see a major blog like this actually go for the non-populist opinion.

The ad simply humanises Microsoft, something it does really well, like you said; "these commercials, at least for a few minutes, made me really like Bill Gates as well. The commercials made me want to hang out with him."

Sometimes I think the tech blogosphere doesn't have a clue what it wants, a hilarious commercial? I believe that's referred to as a 'sponsored joke'. Attack competitors? That's never been Microsoft's way.

Us techies aren't "supposed" to like anything connected with Bill Gates. I don't care either way, but I think it's sad that there are so many thoughtless drones out there who drink whatever kool-aid is fed to them.

I like these ads as well; they are entertaining
