Much better than Seinfeld because it has a point. But again, come up with your OWN idea. You have $300 million!!!!!!!! You can't get a consulting or ad firm to do something here?

Microsoft's "I'm a PC" Ad Airs

I posted my entire thoughts about it on my blog.
In a nutshell, I think these ads are genius, and Microsoft couldn't have done any better.
UPDATE: Waking up the next morning in retrospect, I think the ads make Microsoft look a little desparate. If they had simply removed the PC guy at the start, I think it would have been great.

The money would be much better spent on the OS."I'm a PC and instead of fixing my OS, I'm gonna spend a quarter billion on marketing."
Then again the problems I have on Vista are from non-Microsoft programmers.
About time that elitist Apple advertising series got the slapdown it deserved.
I'm a PC (five, actually), and still can't afford a Mac...

Exactly how do these commercials make you go out and buy Windows?
They make you want to go out and by a "PC" with Linux.
Or a "PC" that is a Mac.
I don't think he was an Astronaut. It is not allowed... NASA can not be endorsed or paid by any "private" businesses. All their funding must come from the government. I am very confused as to how this is working..
I approve. Funny. Clever. I like Jerry Seinfeld, but those commercials made no sense. This people can respond to.

At least you seem to know where your Vista problems originate from. My Vista problems are caused by -depending on which side you are on- by "incompetent" user, MS, hardware vendor, third apps vendor, network admin, family, friends, Bush, Obama, McCain.
lol... Apple should pick this up and run with it!
I was a PC *in embarrassed voice*
Now I'm a Mac. I just work.
No more Hodgman commercials. Apple just got their ass royally handed to them. They would have to be crazy to continue with those ads, they cant respond back without insulting people further.
Im just surprised it took this long to come out with a commercial that gives Apple the finger. Any PC manufacturer could have done the same thing.

Given that it was only a couple weeks ago that the news came out one of the International Space Station computers was infected with a virus, I'm not sure they should've included the astronaut saying "I'm a PC" in this ad...

They don't. Actually it's they don't have to. Windows already dominate the market.
That's why there is PC in I'm a Mac commercial, while there is only PC in I'm a PC commercial.

I should work for Apple Marketing.
or...
"Once you go Mac... you never go back!"
At least these commercials have a point.
I own PCs and I prefer doing most of my computing on my Macs. That would have been my response.
Anyways, the only thing I've got from these commercials, is that MS lacks a sense of humor and their idea of what's cool is out of date.
