"I'm a PC"... all this ad does is state the obvious and reinforce that Microsoft is the current market leader, yeah almost everyone is a "PC" by the shear fact that they own a windows based PC. so what.
At least Apple shows why their products are so much better, in this case with a head to head comparison with PC. a pretty strong tactic really that will convert more and more people to Apple.
That's marketing.
This is why Microsoft responded with this ad, they're feeling the hurt.
by Microsoft's logic I could tell you that "I'm a guy", but what does that really tell you about me?

They do? I must have missed that part of the ad. All I seem to recall is an actor who admits to not even liking Macs saying "I'm a Mac" and proceeding to act like an aging hipster douchebagel whom I'd immediately want to punch in the face if I ever had the misfortune of meeting in person.

They appeal to the lowest common denominator with stupid shit that people won't bother to research and as such yes, will shift more product.
People are fucking dumb, and that's why Apple is so popular these days.

What I love most about Mac people is that they honestly don't understand that nothing they say or do really matters. The world runs PCs, it will always run PCs, Mac is really nothing more then a niche product for a very select group of end-users... no amount of slick design or advertising will change that.
Interestingly... go into any special ed class in the country and you'll notice they're running Mac while everyone else runs PC... why do you suppose that is?

That is perfect for the new PC commercials.....have the PC Dude talking to a kid with down syndrome and showing the kid how to use a PC.

You know if the PC manufacturers really wanted to cut into Mac's market share that's all they need to do... teach the mentally handicapped how to use windows.

Scott doesn't really have a train of thought. If you had to liken Scott's thought process to a form of transportation it would probably be best described as a hot air balloon.... in a hurricane.

Excuse me Margs but making video mashups of my dog barking and a cute clip of a cat meowing all set to the sultry sounds of Enya is serious friggin business to me, also I just love to warp my face with iPhoto its just so much fun let me tell you! You don't know what you're missing with your Micro$oft experience! MAC MAC MAC MAC MAC
I use a macbook and a custom built PC. The Macbook is the biggest over priced over-embellished piece of shit in the world and I regret buying it.
The hardware is the exact fucking same hardware you can get in a PC, just in an aesthetically "pretty" package. Oh correction, it isnt:
-because when I went to upgrade to 2gb of RAM last year (mushkin for $90 vs. apple's kingston-value for $300), upon pulling out the current RAM, lo and behold, the contacts were fucking CORRODING. Shit RAM, or shitty connection inside. (and no I'm not using my macbook beside the dead sea on a daily basis either)
-overall build quality is crap too. I take very good care of my notebooks, but the little plastic ridges to keep the screen off the keyboard when closed have broken through the top keyboard cover, I can glue it, but I think I'm going for a new keyboard, so I'll be out 70 bucks and shitload of time.
What do you lose from the HP:
-.1 GHz on the proc's clock speed. Oh no ! I can't do task X in 3 seconds, i can only do it in 3.025s? damn
What do you gain from the HP: (for a mere $150 more)
-Most notably: 15.4" screen vs. 13.3" (which IMO makes up the difference alone)
-3072MB Of RAM vs. Mac's futile 1GB (But you can upgrade to 4GB for only $300! What a deal)
-320GB Hard Drive (enough said)
-BLU RAY DRIVE !!! WITH AN ACTUAL DVD BURNER ! (Notice how the mac is DVD-ROM? According to Mac Tech's you can't even use an external burner with a macbook unless it's a macbookpro)
-HDMI Port, who the fuck wants to go out, buy a 6 inch apple mini DVI cable, and then another cable to connect to an external monitor/plasma/lcd. seriously fuck off apple.
-An ACTUAL GRAPHICS CARD ! and a great one too. 8600 mobile by NVIDIA (256MB). What does the mac got, that piece of shit generic Intel GMA they've been using since the 1.83GHz Core duo models in what, '06?
You may be asking, why didn't i look at the value comparison before i bought my shitty macbook? Solely because I wanted to prove to myself that I wasn't going insane, that PC's still pummeled Macs.
as for OSX, I get more problems than I do with Vista (with which I've been so fortunate to have none), system hangs all the time on OSX.
Wireless card is super picky and either kinda likes me, or hates me. I get a better wireless connection in my home on my goddamn HTC Touch than I do on my Macbook.
I have a multitude of other problems but don't care to go through the rest right now, I have better things to do than lose sleep over it.
mac fanboys can fuck off
