Microsoft dropping Seinfeld from incredibly expensive, ill-received ad campaign

marco:

What a loss. (thanks, John)

I can’t imagine anyone at Microsoft sitting in a boardroom, watching these ads, and saying, “This is a good idea.”

Microsoft didn’t cancel anything.

“So there seems to be the rumor running around that we’re supposedly cancelling our Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld ads tomorrow. I wouldn’t count on anything being “cancelled”. It was always the plan to have Jerry Seinfeld in the first phase of the campaign and not a part of every ad. Instead, our Windows Consumer Campaign is moving into the next phase and we did mention previously that you should expect the campaign to evolve. I’ll direct you to a post by Stuart Elliott of The New York Times to shed some light on what’s next for our ad campaign.”

The real news is why would a bunch of people who have been screwed by Valleywag in the past believe a story of theirs with no source?
