Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) plans to publicize the new online service with a $100 million advertising campaign designed to reach 95% of all US adults.
$100M is 3x what the Internet backbone cost last year. Why doesn't he just give all Internet users a free account for 3 years? That'll buy market share. And 95% of all US adults is triple the number who are functionally literate enough to read even the onscreen instructions in order to use Marvel. Maybe the real marvel is what a sucker Gates has been for some hype ad agency. Or did they take MSFT stock in exchange too, like Intuit? and,
content. We will not measure ourselves on content, but instead will focus on unique developments and technology. "
