'Don't Give Up On Vista' Mac Ads

I enjoy the “I’m a Mac” and “PC Guy” ad series from Apple, Inc. I use both platforms (although not with Vista) and generally prefer Macs, but I think the ad series is pure genius. C’mon, admit it. Regardless of your platform preference, the ads and the two characters are endearing.

Here’s another.

Me too!!! I LOVE these ads and I am not a Mac user.

But when my Dell dies, I will seriously look at Macs. Who knows?

personally I am tired of the Mac ads. Like Macs don't have any problems. If Macs were so great then why don't they have Windows market share?

And remember when XP came out it had problems too.

That says a lot, Jepsen. I do remember when XP came out and yes, it too was rife with bugs and other problems. So what is your point? It's taken all this time to get XP debugged and now comes Vista, full of bugs and problems, just as XP was? No wonder early Vista users are downgrading back to XP! Bugs and problems aren't a virtue.

I won't even go into market share. The reasons why MS has dominant market share are well documented, and OS superiority isn't one of them.

And the ads are fun. I don't drive a Chevy but I sometimes enjoy their ads.

Isn't the "I'm a Mac" guy a movie actor? I'm positive I've seen him in movies. And I know the "I'm a PC" guy has been on some talk shows.

The ads are great! Even if you are one of the "PCs are better" or "Macs are better" fanatics, the commercials are good fun.

I love the Mac guy, he's so cute!! PC Guy is cute too but in a kind of nerdy way.
