I like Windows a lot more than Macs, but I have to say, that Mac ad was pretty good, while that Windows ad was pretty lame. Of course I'm getting tired of the "I'm a PC" commercials, but you have to admit, that's probably the best one in like... years, at this point.
Except for that "It's not going to have any of the problems Windows XP had" part. Nobody ever fucking said that, Windows XP was great.

Desperate Mac Ad attacks Windows 7
" RITE CLIK MUTHFUKA!!!!!1!! Has that been said? "Has it been said that the notion that you can't use a two-button mouse (or 4, or 5, or 7 button) on a mac is completely ridiculous? Because it is. I used the Logitech MX Revolution for the past 2 years, and every single one of the buttons was programmed to do what I wanted it to.

I couldn't agree more." The mac ads embodies the mac crowd: pretentious. Why don't they just advertise their products, instead of blatantly insulting the competition? "

This, was amazing." Thank god for the Gmod Idiot Box.
Yeah, that's how I feel. "
" @Bass said:How does it feel after hours of use? the mouse looks really sleek, and i was wondering if it strains your hands / fingers.

"Actually if you can remember when XP came out there were alot of complaints about it. People said it was too bloated and there wasn't enough privacy with the computer always sending info to microsoft and what not.
It's really since the OS lasted 7 years and people got to use to it that this unnatural love of XP showed up. Which only helped stoke the fire against Vista.

Well, I honestly don't remember hearing any kinds of complaints like that.
" What I don't like about Mac ads is, they're dishonest and sleazy. Do windows ads mention Mac's lack of compatibility with most productivity and entertainment software? Do they mention how you have to buy hardware at triple the market price to use it? Or how about its complete lack of features for high-end users? Windows has the confidence to do its own thing, and do it well; Mac ads are like the type of ads politicians who know they can't win an election use to gain some marginal amount of leverage. Desperate, pitiful. "With the percentage of the market they own, they don't have to
I like the second ad better, but that's just because most of the scenes are blatantly filmed in Seattle
I used to find those "Get A Mac" ads clever. But, I felt that first ad indirectly insulted the ones they're trying to convert. Almost as if to call PC users unenlightened sheep.
I think Apple should work a new advertising campaign. I don't think they'll ever let Microsoft live down Vista.
