TV comedian Jerry Seinfeld will appear
as a pitchman in an upcoming $300 million Microsoft ad campaign,

million for his participation in the effort, which will also star
Bill Gates, the WSJ reported.
Editor's note: What? We realize that Mr. Seinfeld has bills to pay, but really now, who will take this seriously? Every self-respecting geek remembers that scenes from Seinfeld's NY apartment featured a Mac conspicuously displayed on his desk by the window. Diehard Apple fans will remember that Seinfeld even starred in one of Apple's famous Think Different ads.
