i agree, i have seen them on the utube, i have not seen them on tv though, thank god.



The Apple ads are getting old and played out.

That being said, these new PC ads were a mistake because they're too defensive. By responding to an accusation, you unintentionally lend a shred of credence to that accusation. It shows weakness and reveals that MS sees the Mac ads as a dangerous threat which they cannot ignore.

The Seinfeld ads were better. Pandering to those dumb **** Apple ads is ridiculous.



For some reason it makes me think of the Carl's Jr. slogan from Idiocracy,"Fuck you! I'm eating."

I can't wait for "I'm a PC, so go eat shit and die!"

Well, what do you expect from people who typically hate Microsoft to begin with. >_>



The BuShA owns all!

^^ Thats neither here nor there, the fact is that all these ads do is try to deny the mac ads some of their claims but give no actual info about the computer and therefore no reason to buy.

 all the apple commercials do is say how flawed vista is. I have NEVER seen a mac commercial that tells you anything the mac has to offer, all they do is say how bad vista is. Mac's may have some better features over Window's vista, but i'm not aware of any of them due to poor marketing.



The apple ads make me sick. If you want to compete with a company at least do it fairly and above the belt. It seems like they're trying to feast on people's insecurities by making them think "Hey, I'm not like that uptight asshole PC guy, I'm young and hip like the Mac guy."

The new PC ads just generally suck though, and I agree that the Seinfeld ads were much better. At least they were entertaining and void of the normal "Buy this because..." message that all other commercials have.

Then this is for you
