If you don't at least chuckle when you watch “bean counter” you're better than I. 🙂

I said it when Microsoft first paid Simfield $10 million for those two nonsense commercials, why didn't Microsoft spend that money in fixing Vista?

At least their “I'm a PC” ads are a bit more understandable. 🙄
 
Took Apple a while to respond but they hit the nail on the head. Sucks to be Microsoft's ad agency or a Windows user. 😛

Thanks for sharing!

Bean Counter and the V Word are on Page 2 on MacRumors.

I enjoyed both these ads very much!
 
I've been wanting Apple to change their Ads, but this one's a GREAT response to MS's "I'm a PC" ads... 😀

Dear Mr. Ballmer:

Advertising, advertising, advertising, advertising...
Advertising, advertising, advertising, advertising...

Apple

😱
 
Great, and complete fiction like the usual. Vista is fixed - or rather, fixed better than Leopard in real life.

If you think about the user base, $100m vs $300m looks pretty bad for you know who in terms of ad spend vs people to service delivering products of actual quality - i.e. not what Apple gives the pavlovian-conditioned 'I'm a Mac' types these days.

But hey, what fanboy considers stuff - reality - like that?

I'd say if anything, they may need to spend a little more to make up for the year-plus that they did nothing countering Apple's complete BS, since they don't have the head of steam that Apple does.
 
I found that pretty ironic, in light of recent events, the DNS flaw being one, which was made public in May 08, but patched in August 08:

Cisco, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems and many Linux versions put out a fix for the flaw on July 8, when it was first disclosed. Apple had taken some heat when it did not release its patch then, too.

Apple have always neglected security, taking unnaturally long to issue flaws. This advert is riddled with irony and contradiction.

Agree.

Like this one.

Funny, I was on Skype with a buddy who uses a PC. During our chat, his computer crashed. It was running Vista. Had to laugh.
