That's because those ads were retar--- I mean ridiculous. (sorry pg, there's only so much constructive criticism I can give before I call it like it is :-)) But seriously, the people who seek identity from their computers are younger audiences not older ones. That ad, by using a 90s era sitcom character, was aimed at people who are older. For the people who Microsoft needs to gain some momentum, it probably ended up making them look ridiculous. Microsoft is still in the game because of their market power and first-mover status back in the dawn of personal computers, but it will be very hard for them to dig themselves out of the hole they are in with money alone.
