I'm bored of the mac/PC commercials. They've just gotten ridiculous and boring.

You have to wonder about a company whose sole marketing strategy is to constantly rip on their opponents.

Man this ad convinced me. I'm switching and I'm going to check out all the great games for the Mac!

Wait a minute...nevermind.

Moving this video to Zifnab's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 3 days.

The only Mac vs. PC ad I enjoyed was Vista allow/deny one.

Why do they have to conflate PC with Microsoft. They're not the same thing, y'know. PC's are great if you can condemn Gates to the sector where he belongs. Which sector is that again?

From what I've seen Mac users are mostly clueless marketing victims who pay $2000+ to surf the web, do e-mail, and load MP3s onto their ipod.

Oh man these ads are really, really giving me the shits now. I mean really, they're just getting outright abusive these days.

I run Vista at home, and you know what... it works... yup, does all I want of it, which includes:
* My wife being able to do all her university work on it, using... yup, Microsoft Office, because we bought the 'Ultimate' edition for $75 after battling for ages with Open Office... sorry, Microsoft actually does a damn good office product.
* I can play all my games. Yup, when I actually get the chance, I get to play Bioshock, Half Life 2 Ep 2, Crysis etc. etc.
* I can make DVDs from videos from all over the damn place (including my digital set top box) using open source software. (yeah, just because you use Windows doesn't mean you're some sort of free software hater)
* I do photo editing etc. with Photoshop.

Really, it does all I want, it does it well now that it's running SP1, and I'm happy with it. To have a smear campaign that is based around attacking your competitor is just pathetic. The ones where they highlight there good points are better, but they do spout an awful lot of crap in these ads. (They did a whole 'blue screen of death' one... come on, I can't remember the last time my pc locked up... )

They really, really need to try a different tack (tact?) now, really.
