I compare M$/Apple competition to Coke/Pepsi.

Pepsi spends all of its commercial time downing Coke while Coke doesn't care and just makes some crazy CGI commercials.

Seinfeld in this commercial goes along with that whole 'it is about nothing' concept. I find the commercial intriguing.

 

   If MS pulled a pepsi and had a video of Britney Spears...or I guess in these days Jessica Alba dancing half naked singing as their commerical leading up to a 360 exploding in red white and blue stars I would find that it makes more sense then this one did.  

 

   Maybe they're still trying to make Bill Gates more likable after those videos of him testifying during the monopoly hearings?  Even still....300 million is a LOT of money even by Pepsi/Coke standards.

 

   It kinda works, the Pepsi thing, Pepsi makes more money worldwide then coke now by a pretty healthy margin.

Thx for posting that, while PepsiCo. does have higher gross revenue overall Coke is the more profitable of the two. Not to mention that PepsiCo. also has alot of revenue coming in from nonbeverage areas (frito-lay, Quaker) that most consumers dont even link with the PepsiCo. brand. 

YOU LIE!!

i checked the site and coke is ahead of pepsi.

besides, if you only count the soft drinks, coke is way far ahead of pepsi.

He is more likely to say: What's with Vista?? I click on a program, it's asking me are you sure you want to run this program?? YES I cllcked on it! but maybe Vista knew I didn't actually wanted to click on it so it warned me... so I didn't do it... George: So you didn't do it?? Jerry: nooo.. but I was tempted..

 

I thought this was funny.

"YouR opinion is WronG!!!"

I dig it over the shitty deceitful lying Mac ads that only make me hate Apple even more. This is actually funny. It's a hell of a lot better than the Lying Mac ads:

Mac: "I can run iTunes"
PC: "Oh, well I can balance their checkbooks"
...
ME: "WHAT THE FUCKIN SHIT!?!?"

PC: "Oh, I'm updating my antivirus software"
Mac: "Oh, well, I don't get Viruses!"
...
ME: "BULLSHIT!"

Honestly no, Vista is not anywhere near perfect, but macs are only for the computer-retarted and anti-microsoft hippies + Apple fanboys who buy new iPods every 3 months.

Me: you're a opinionated douche who needs to get over the fact that people may have differing opinions from you. I say this as I type from a mac. And please tell me, why are you stereotyping everything.

I have no problems with people who have different opinions from me. I go to school everyday with people like that. It just pisses me off when I see those damn commercials on just about every channel I watch.

And I'm not just stereotyping everything. Those are the people I have to listen to everyday at school, and for some reason, the same people who prefer Macs, bought the last iPod shuffle, The iPhone, and and the 3G iPhone (ALL 3) (I'm thinking of about 3 people in my school, the only ones who have Macs to my knowledge), and seem to just bash Microsoft whenever possible, like when surface was announced, they were like "OMFG That is such a stooooopid idea", just because it's from MS. I mean, to an extent, I can understand not liking the big corp, but seriously, people piss me off when they qoute the commercials, saying things like: "Macs can't get viruses", and other such things.

If you try to tell me that there are NO viruses for macs, you are full of it

If you try to tell me that XP/Vista cannot run iTunes, you are bullshitting me.

I have no problem with people who say: "I have a Mac, it's great".

My problem is the 5% of America that believes everything they hear on TV, and try to bash MS because it's "The cool thing to do".

So basically you are a kid making up your opinions based on what happens at your school. Cool.
