San Francisco  - Microsoft is to pay comedian Jerry Seinfeld 10 million dollars to star in a 300-million-dollar advertising campaign for its Windows Vista operating system.

The campaign, which is one of the largest ever undertaken by the software giant, is aimed at establishing a cachet for the computer operating system and will feature Seinfeld along with Microsoft chairman Bill Gates.

A complaint made against Microsoft by The Taiwanese Consumer Foundation, which claimed that the company effectively using its monopoly to force sales of Vista is being investigated by the Taiwanese Fair Trade Commission.

Around 56% of people purchasing new machines, with Vista on, would have XP on their new box, whereas 67% thought that Microsoft shall continue to offer XP.

In Taiwan, XP is still available on some new, lower-spec machines.

To interpret the competition law that a company had to sell a product for ever would be strange said an anti trust lawyer while speaking to news persons.
