Well, it was a comparatively quiet week on the Linux blogs last week, due at least in part, no doubt, to the Labor Day holiday. Gustav could have been a factor too -- dampening, so to speak, those conversational fires -- but we here at LinuxInsider also have another small theory to explain some of the relative lack of discussion: Many normally active members of the blogosphere, we suspect, were stunned into a sort of dazed stupor by the first Jerry Seinfeld Microsoft ad.
Regarding the TV commercials featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld, I believe Rob Enderle has an interesting point of view.

His basic premise is that these are the first commercials of a series and they are meant to be teasers that get people talking. Seems reasonable so far.
Personally, I haven't commented until now. I saw no reason to. When I see Bill Gates I automatically think Microsoft. I tend to lose interest at about that point.
