[![](/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/bill-150x111.png "Bill Gates")](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uz6amk3P-hY) The [new *Microsoft* ads](http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/09/05/microsoft_first_seinfeld_commercial/) are absolutely brilliant — Mr. Bill Gates turns out to be the marketing talent they have been missing since the very first day. These ads are already the second thing that Microsoft has gotten right over the past year, first being the Internet Explorer 8 and its support for Web standards.
