Robert MacLeay’s little tale about how Microsoft might have gotten Seinfeld sounds very, very much like the story I once read about how Microsoft got the Rolling Stones’ “Start Me Up” song for the Windows ‘95 rollout. I think it was an interview with Mike Jagger several years later (sorry couldn’t find the original). The Stones had never before allowed their songs to be used in commercials so Jagger threw out what he thought was an absurd amount ($4 million) and Microsoft accepted.

And I suppose that Apple didn’t pay to have their mac on Jerry’s desk?
Merchandising is Merchandising! I’ll bet if you walked up to 10 people even in your own office who haven’t read this article and you asked them what kind of computer Jerry had on his desk, well you might just be surprised. I personally like both mac’s and pc’s, right now I am writing this on the new HP 2133 mini note and I love this machine. If it were the air, I’d like that too. I love computers!

Seinfeld’s agent: “Hey, Microsoft wants you to tell the world how great Vista is. Want to go for it?”

Seinfeld: “You have got to be kidding me. Say no, but say it politely. Quote them a price so high they’ll never pay.”

Seinfeld’s agent: “Ten million?”

Seinfeld: “Go with it.”

Seinfeld always had a Mac on the desk by the Window. Who couldn’t see this coming?

“It became very clear to me sitting out there today that every decision I’ve made in my entire life has been wrong. My life is the complete opposite of everything I want it to be. Every instinct I have, in every aspect of life, be it something to wear, something to eat – it’s all been wrong.”

Concerning the Crazies ad for Apple – no wonder they only ran it once, and during a Seinfeld episode. Putting Jerry Seinfeld on the same level as MLK, Eingstein and others is a joke, and would not have held up to widespread scrutiny.
