Cool new PC advert

I love this Microsoft advert. Not just for the fact that it’s actually very human, but also for the fact that I find the Apple adverts so smug…

The problem with any phenomena, and Apple has been a product-based marketing phenomena over the past ten years, is that you will eventually get some sort of backlash when you play along with the notion that you are as cool as everyone says.

I won’t be buying a PC mind, I do still love my Mac.

    Windows - Life Without Walls!
    Sorry had to laugh out loud at that point. Let’s see how long your precious PC lasts without a firewall!

    You Apple Fanboys… all the same… I laugh when Apple tell me how robust my Macbook Pro is… 2 machines later.

    “precious PC”

    I agree about the lack of Viruses and bugs on the Mac though.

    The funniest thing is that it has now been shown from the metadata that this PC advert was made on a Mac!!! Even Microsoft’s own ad people use them. If that doesn’t tell you all you need to know about how crap Vista is then nothing will.
