While I agree with you that a next generation iPod would be better, not only for me but for a lotta fools who want the 6th Gen 'Pod); I have to disagree that most mac users don't excited over the OS.
I think that the people who buy Apple computers do so because they truly do care about the OS and the environment they compute with otherwise they'd just buy a cheaper Windows PC and be done with it. Apple has traditionally cost a little more and people have been willing to pay for it because they appreciate the difference.
Those in the US might be spending the next 3 and a half hours waiting for the superbowl...but in the UK, more important things are afoot... TG in 2 minutes guys!
How 'bout a little alteration to the story line:
Mac : 'are you stable'
PC : 'well, actually I'm still a bit unnerved'
Mac : 'what's wrong?'
PC : 'my owner took me to one of those discount upgrade shops'
Mac : 'and?'
PC : 'I feel so violated'
Mac : 'what happened'
PC : 'they took me in the back room, and did some very bad things'
Mac : 'Oh, I'm sorry'
PC : 'yes, it was like being abducted by aliens, they were sticking things in there, re-arranging my parts, and performing transplants with parts from the future'
Mac : 'Wow. That's terrible'
PC : 'well, at least they made my interface prettier'
Mac : 'TMI (Too Much Information)'
PC : 'Well, at least it's over'
Mac : 'So, what's your owner think?'
PC : 'well, he hasn't been very supportive. All he's done is curse at me. After all I've been through, It's really upsetting.'
Mac : 'Sorry Mac'
PC : 'Next time I'm going to an Authorized Service Center. No more back alley shops for me'
Mac : 'So, ready to get back to work?'
PC : 'well, not really. I'm waiting for the doctor to get my update shot ready'
Mac : 'Sounds terrible'
PC : 'It's not too bad. The SP1 shot should be ready in about 3 months'
Mac : 'what are you going to do until then?'
PC : 'well, not much. Probably just take sick leave. Can't do much else anyway'
Mac : 'I hope my owner doesn't load Vista on me'
PC : 'Shhh. I'm calling your house. Gonna leave a message telling your owner how great Vista is.'
Mac : 'PC, PC, Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!'
PC : 'Too Late
' Mac : 'That's cruel'
PC : 'i know,
Evil Grin. Yaaa Haa Haa Haa' Mac : 'Here comes my owner. What's he holding? What is that
Oh, no, it's a box of Vista Sorry PC, gotta Run.' PC : 'See you soon (evil grin)'
Or they could have PC on a recovery table with a doctor telling Mac that his Vista isn't quite stable yet.
Mac: "Will he be alright?"
Doctor: "Are you his family?"
Mac: "Oh, I'm a friend."
Doctor: "Well, it was a very complicated procedure. He's not completely stable yet.
PC "uhhhh..."
Mac: "Oh, he's waking up!"
PC "Mmmmaaaac... !"
Doctor: "Don't worry sir, the upgrade was a success. In a couple of months, you'll be doing spreadsheets again."
Bandwidth cost....venue hire...cameras...filming/editing people...keynote making people..its not free (not what you said but close-ish)
From what I've heard, M$ will be running a Zune ad. So it would make sense for Apple to counter. If the Beatles are an iTunes excluse its an "in your face" message to M$ and the world that iTunes is the king of legal music d/l and everyone else is a poser.
Sure, The Beatles isn't that sexy of an announcement compared to new hardware. But The Beatles are still regarded as the innovators of the modern Rock and Roll band. To have them exclusevly makes a statement, if nothing else.
I don't expect new hardware to be announced, but in my fantasy land I'd love a WS iPod. I'm not a huge Beatles fan, but I'd RUN out and buy a WS Beatles iPod (as Merlin Mann dreamed up) if it was the only model Apple sold. We'll see.

I dunno. The events generally preach to the choir whereas the Super Bowl ads reach the many masses. Also, it is good for Apple to be identified with beer, football, burritos, Toyotas..you know, American middle class stuff. That's the big market.
That explains the massive chin on the iMac. It's a beer gut
New Mac and PC ad. Mac sloshes in with beer in-hand. A big belch rumbles through the room. PC turns on his fan to blow the smell the other direction, and the Mac (playing the roll as a high-school football jock) flushes the PC's head in the toilet.
Yep, that'd sell a million Macs.
Never Know
The cost of 3D animation these days is through the roof. Have some flying build numbers that morph into some of the past OS cats and then have the nine in 10.4.9 turn into a Leopard. The announcement is that 10.4.9 is Leopard.

I Know I Know!!!
Definitely iTunes commercial. But the big surprise will be that Apple has exclusive rights to the entire digitally remastered collection of The Monkees! Yay to Davey, Mike, Mickey and Peter!
Everyone knows that the Monkees are the most copied band ever and that they invented Rock & Roll!
Then they will follow up with something about Vista and OS/X. You know, something like, c'mon microsoft, quit monkeying around with operating systems, or how many monkeys does it take to write Vista?. My insider information is a bit fuzzy about this, but I'm sure it will happen.
See 'ya,

PS, you can be amazed later...
