With the launch of Windows Vista looming, Microsoft have released a viral marketing campaign featuring Demetri Martin, called Clearification. The hiring of an American comedian to advertise their product was matched by Apple, who hired Demetri's The Daily Show co-correspondent John Hodgman --- alongside Justin Long --- for their "Get a Mac" campaign.
