Bill Gates trys on some Conquistador shoes that haven't been broken in yet... in other words, it will take some work to get where they're going, leading the pack along the way. They leave out the actual purchase to avoid drawing attention to their "innovation via acquisition". The club card has only two bits of information intentionally... his name, and a 2009 expiration date. In 2009, we will no longer need the club card, and the empty incentives of Big Top Points... the year we will see this project come to fruition. The club card is a jab at the Apple monopoly on Apple. You buy an iPod, but you're tied to the iTunes bloatware to get anything done with it. You buy a Mac, but you're tied to the over-priced Apple components and limited selection. The mind meld bit is to hammer home the retired Bill Gates in Conquistadors = Microsoft in Conquistadors. I think the ad is actually an announcement for a new direction for Microsoft.
