New Get A Mac Ad: Time Machine

New Get a Mac Ad: Time Machine

At 1:50p EST I saw a new Get a Mac ad featuring Time Machine in Leopard. No screen captures for you, but the ad featured a row of Mac characters talking to PC about the features of Time Machine. Nothing up on Apple.com yet. Anyone else see it?
 
I heard the familiar Mac-ad music coming from the other room with the TV,
but by the time I got there I saw the row of "Mac guy" - missed all the dialog...

All I have to say is finally. I'm glad Apple is showing off features of OS X instead of just Vista bashing.

I was able to see the whole ad, and was thinking exactly the same thing.

Apple FINALLY shows a killer new feature - and keeps the ad entertaining.

Who'd have thought?
 
I like it, it's funny. I love how PC says something nice about Mac. I wonder if this has something to do with Microsoft working on Office 08 for Mac. They wouldn't want to get on Microsofts' bad side while they're making a product for them.
 
Great ad Finally talkin about a Mac os feature even though i dont mind the pc bashin ;) but its nice to show off what the new features are in the mac oses i hope this is what they do down the road

Pretty cool to show off a feature of leapord.
 
Great ad.

1. Points out great new feature of Leopard (personification of software - wow)
2. Does it in a way anybody can understand
3. Doesn't stoop to criticising "PC".


More of the same please Apple :tu
 
I'm glad to see an ad where Mac isn't bashing Windows. Both OSes have their individual merits as far as I'm concerned. My laptop may be a Mac but my desktop will most likely stay a Windows machine, I'm a gamer after all.
 
Yep, she's a goodie. Hope they do more like this. What surprises me most about Apple stuff, is that everybody knows about the look and feel of the hardware, but not a lot about the great stuff that makes the hardware simply the icing on the cake, the Operating System.

Keep it coming Apple.
 
I liked it, great add, mac was doing the talkin this time and no bashing.
But something was strange about PC guy
 
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So finally, now, everyone on these forum's that complain ... "talk about what the OS does" can finally stop complaining!!!!

This is marketing, and I think the entire line has been genius (though some less genius than others), and am glad to finally have them talk about the OS (though I didn't care when they were bashing Windows either).

Go Apple!!
 
I think this is definitely one of the better 'Mac and PC ' ads, I just wish they could show a bit of the actual feature they're 'personifying' at the end of the ad - especially in the case of Time Machine, I think once they've explained the concept seeing the actual thing in action would make sense and sell itself just as much as the actors can sell it...
