Microsoft's First Seinfeld Ad Airs: Shoe Circus

I'm don't know much about this stuff but Googling I discovered that Apple bought PA Semi for $250 million,so maybe that's where their going with this claim.
 
No PA Semi parts in a Mac

The PA Semi acquisition is most likely to develop custom systems-on-a-chip for Iphone/Ipod/MID devices - not Macs.

Even if it were the case, none of those components are in the current Macs - so the ads would still be technically false for current models.
 
hey guys could anyone tell me why this thread has so many replies???

I mean who cares about microsoft ad:D

And there you go and blow it by falling back into crazy talk.

You're obviously better and smarter than this nonsense - don't listen to the "other voices", stay with the outside personality.

I bought a mac mini about 4months ago,I'm 37 years old,I had a of (about a12 yr old gateway)all I wanted was a program that would make photo organising straight forward-the mac does that-they wanted me to buy a 2 gb ram at the Apple store- I dont need it -it's been perfect-it looks good and the fan noise at it's most frantic is not annoying at all-I barely hear it-it really is simple and makes you feel good just using it. It costs $600- ie not much I got the wireless keyboard(beautiful)and mouse(no problems at all)there's a mac I love-the mini towers -well if I needed more,a mac pro-but for me the little outside of surfing is not needed. I don't do games and I bet the thing the lasts/For everyone else there's a choice pc or mac for me there's just a right choice a Mac!

Sorry, childish I know, but I couldn't help myself here...

Cue PC & Mac standing at a tall meeting table with a bowl of Apples on

Mac
Hello I'm a mac.
PC (standing in Gates Conquistador shoes)
and I'm a PC.
Mac
Say, PC, I just saw your new commercial, nice shoes.
PC (Proud)
Yes, we've finally managed to produce something that is virus-free and just works.
Mac
Shoes?
PC
These aren't just shoes, these are Microsoft Conquistador 2008 Ultimate shoes.
Mac
Oh?
PC
With these shoes you can go anywhere, think "where do you want to go to today?" and these shoes you can get there.
NO need for an internet connection, you don't even need a computer.
Mac
But what about Vista?
PC
Well we hoped users would get the message, you see Atari showed us that the desert is the best place for redundant software and well, we hoped people might get the hint with the Mojave project.
PC
But with these babies...

(PC starts stomping during which the laces start to fall out)
...you can can go anywhere,do anything.
(PC Stands still realising he has no laces left)

PC
Of course, there might still be some compatibility issues, people with different feet configurations and all... ...we'll have them sorted in the first service pack.

PC, looking deflated, picks up an Apple fom the bowl, takes a bite and starts to walk off set...

PC
Say, these are delicious.

Cut to Apple logo.

That's a 45-second spot. Try cutting :15 of dialog first.

Then take that :30 and throw it away.
 
It's a shaggy dog story — the whole thing is a lead-up to Bill Gates saying, 'Let them eat cake!'
 
Take a hike Microsoft!

It looks like Microsoft just went ahead and built the $300 million bridge to nowhere after all!
 
Gosh what a lame ad, and NOT because it is Microsoft, but because it is SOOOO BOORING! The only thing I root for is the churros....what can I say..I love Mexico!
 
the new microsofy ad is pretty impressive and is obvious in what it's trying to say. In fact they make the apple ads look quote childish, immature and even a little offensive.

why they paid seinfield all those millions for a couple of ads that don't make sense instead of just doing these I'll never know
 
I just figured out where they got the "chewy" idea from. It's from a Get Fuzzy comic strip. :)

Microsoft doesn't make computers.

Besides that, what do you mean?

a) that the MS-players, being the underdog, says that PCs with windows installed is the underdog?

b) That Macs have crappy audio quality?

c) that Macs have extremely bugridden software?

d) that when looking at the two show that Apple's stuff isn't catering to the lowest common denominator?

e) that Macs are way more crippled than PCs, having less working features?

f) that macs tend to go backwards in featuresets, even with such basic features as Disk Mode?

g) that, assuming we include phones, Apple's computers are seriously handicapped and no more than a fashion statement?

h) that Apple computer's have a lousy build quality?

i) that "stuff" from Apple computers is so tied in and proprietary that one has to be willing to hang your independence on the coat rack, and be content with not being able to do what you want, but rather only do what Steve Jobs and Co want you to?

Yes, except for A, you really do have a point.
