Of course. But if they need a comedian to pitch
Vista, they're in trouble -- especially one which
is famous about his stories about nothing, yada
yada yada. (I can't be more specific; I've
never watched Seinfeld.)
I'd have to agree with the article that I'd have
to prefer Judy Tenuta; she's cute, though I
know nothing about her actual comedy. ;-)
Then again, if she has any brains she'd probably
avoid Microsoft like the plague...
(BTW: jumping the shark is explained nicely in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumping_the_Shark,
where Henry Winkler on water skis jumps
over a shark. After that, Happy Days wasn't
so happy, apparently.)
