Have you seen the new PC vs. Mac ads? No, I'm not talking about those ads by Apple, but Microsoft's latest commercials. Without taking sides in this war, I have to admit that Microsoft is finally doing a good a better job in their marketing. Of course, just the fact that Microsoft is no longer mentioning Vista by name can be enough to improve sales on PCs.

Netbooks like a phone?
I can't tell if Microsoft is saying yes or no to the netbooks. On one hand, Apple's delay in netbooks is a positive for all those XP and Linux netbooks. On the other hand, the commercial seems to imply that users really don't want netbooks. Either way, the commercial shows the diversity in hardware available to the PC crowd that you can't get with a Mac.
Wait until the system starts
One day she will be "cool enough to be a Mac person" and than she will notice what piece of shit (concerning the OS) she bought for 700 $!
Poor girl.
Windows, OS X, and Linux
Martin, I laughed when I read your comment. Though, this is one of the reasons I wish Apple would allow their OS on other hardware besides their own. Do you know how many netbook users have already hacked the OS X onto their non-Apple hardware?
Personally, I'm enjoying Linux on my PCs these days. This coming not from a Linux-only fanboy but from someone who is typing from a Vista PC while my wife works on her very expensive MacBook Pro. Linux has a lot to offer that Windows can't offer and that Apple apparently will not offer.
Loved it. Time to give that
Loved it. Time to give that mac guy a reality check. Of course, I like the real mac ads too… though they can be a bit absurd.
It's a little small???
Look at the PC ad with the mom and the boy. They go to look at the Macs and the boy said "It's a little small"... If you're looking for a laptop, isn't it supposed to be PORTABLE? Besides, the Macs aren't that small.
PC ads
I like the fact that the pc ads say that having a pc is like life without walls......but without walls....there would be no "windows"....hmmmm....something to think about...LOL
Too bad I can't see the video
Too bad I can't see the video clip. Still in the battle of Mac vs. Microsoft, for me Microsoft always won. When I felt like changing some parts of it I just took them, went to used computer hardware and I got my money back in time to buy the new parts.
New video source
I'm using a new video source for the advertisement so you should now be able to see the video clip.
