I found something disturbing in Google’s search suggest feature today:
Is this such a popular phrase that it’s made it into Google’s database? Is Barry Chuckle indeed dead? All I know is, the nation cares.

After emailing Jeff a little while ago, and since those “I’m a PC” adverts are still on tv all the time, I thought I’d email Sean. One again I got a reply quickly, but it wasn’t quite so fun:
Hi. I got your email. Well, not really. A server that receives and stores emails sent to this address got your email. I, however, don’t so much check it anymore. It was fun to get to connect with many people for a while. Thanks.
Take care,
Sean
In fact, it’s not fun at all. Sean is no longer on my “favourite Windows people” list

Ok, I cracked and emailed jeff@windows.com from that PC advert. Because I’m a massive geek.
I got a reply!
Hi –
Thanks for your email. I apologize if I can’t send you a more personalized response than this auto-reply – I’m super busy these days trying to optimize my code & squeeze out that last drop of performance. Or sleeping off a caffeine crash 
In case you were wondering (you did email me, right?), I’m a software engineer working on Windows Networking technologies. (Networking, like, wireless internet and all that}.
I’ve been getting a lot of questions so I just wanted to take the opportunity to answer a few. Several people have asked why I get an email address in the TV spot when most of the other folks don’t.
The answer is that I’m a Microsoft employee – the others are real people too, but they don’t work for Microsoft.
Another fun one that keeps showing up in my inbox… can I apply for a job at Microsoft?
Yes! The Windows team is hiring ;-)… check out http://microsoft.com/jobs/ or http://microsoft.com/college/ (for students).
And thirdly, people are asking a really great question: am I real?
The answer: Yes, at least last time I checked.
OK. I really need to get back to work now, so bye & thanks again for your email.
–Jeff
So is Jeff real? I think so, but I bet after that advert he had to change his email address
