Last ad I saw by MS was the Windows Mojave/Vista thing but that's been running forever now.

 Not the whole of Europe, it's fine to do so in the UK. A great example is the conflict between Sky and Virgin, you'd have to do some reading up, but it pretty much turned into a slag fest within a matter of weeks.

These Apple commercials are getting boring,each new commercial they waste money on saying the same thing thats been said before,and they have the balls to say MS is wasting money on advertising???

Wow, what a bunch of tools. Apple advertises as much if not more than Microsoft with Vista. And apple OSX still wont run half the shit vista does.

Apple advertising people = bunch of pretentious twats.

turn all those dollar bills into pc owners, and you have a generally correct comparison of pc vs mac users.
I didn't hear it with sound so i made up my own concept.

edit:double post

I love people getting so angry over those ads, it's funny and sad at the same time.

Personally, I find them amusing... People need to take some happy pills and see it without fanboy eyes.

Is it just me, or does each new advert make that pair even more annoying.

Hi i'm a mac and OSX doesn't seem to have anything I can promote.

The point is not that MS spends money on advertising and Apple does not. Obviously Apple DOES spend a lot on adds (though across a ton of products, its not all just mac ads. I see more iphone and Ipod ads then anything else).

The point is that Apple has a quality working current OS that has seen a lot of quality updates since 2000 when it first came out. It has gotten a ton of positive reviews from unbiased sources and is gaining market share at a fast rate (its at least 50-60% of Laptops at University of California San Diego for instance where I go). In fact the OSX share is a little more then half Vista's share. That is quite the change from the 95% 5% XP/OSX split.

Apple HAS obviously put the money and effort into making OSX a quality product, so they can advertise it AS a quality product and not be laughed at.

Microsoft has more or less said implicitly we're just going to let the Vista turd sit there, ignore it as long as we can and try to get Windows 7 out so we can pretend Vista never happened. Vista is the Microsoft version of New Coke and they can't move on soon enough.

Instead of fixing Vista then, they advertise that it's "not that bad". They have made commercial after commercial to that effect as if SAYING it isn't that bad in a commercial is as good as actually making it better. The point in the Apple commercial is that instead of spending nearly a billion dollars between the Mojave/seinfeld/I'm a PC ads they could just spend that money on making a better quality product, which they clearly haven't done (using Vista is just as awful as ever even after SP1, I still get a ton of memory errors and only get access to 2GBs of my 4GBs of RAM plus its not even half as fast as OSX or Linux).

lolita, watching someone buy a jug of milk for twice the price of what it costs across the street and simply watching and laughing is not nice.
In fact research has shown that people who get upset about bamboozlement correlates (with a high percentage) to success and longevity.
