the funny thing about this ad is that apple is the one paying actors to portray windows in an inaccurate way...while all of microsoft's ads have absolutely nothing to do with/bashing OSX at all. these macs were funny at first...now they just seem really immature and tasteless. although those are the types of people apple tries to appeal to (idiots who go for the shiny/trendy items instead of the better ones).

They can't advertise like this in the UK,not that i'm saying the UK's better just pointing it out to all who don't know, I agree with Some Guy! Why does anyone care what computer you have? who are these people who care what type of products you own? oh yeh the suckas that belive everything they see in ads!

There's a saying that goes : When you cannot get higher by yourself, bring down the others around you and lower them to your level. In Apple's case, it means low, very low..

if you recall Pepsi and Coke seem to have the same advertising takes. Pepsi always slanders and degrades coke while coke is about getting together and having fun. hey government campaign writer need to do something between elections too.

"i would like to see windows come up with some sort of counter-ads for these." Good God you're kidding right!? I would hate to see other companies start down this juvenile road. When you look at ads from say Dell, HP, Intel and any number of other tech companies they're professional companies that act like adults selling to adults instead of spoiled 6 year olds selling to spoiled 5 year olds. Holy crap you scared me with that. Bad, bad thomas...

someguy - the difference is, everyone knows Macs hired actors. Microsoft actually engaged in astroturfing - pretending to be unbiased voices of support to build up a false sense of support for their own company. I used to hate Macs and thought these kinds of commercials were smarmy and snobbish. But the truth is, the smarminess ends on the surface level, and they really do put out good products with good business ethics. Microsoft, on the other hand...
