New Apple TV Ads Make Fun of Microsoft Vista

I'm no computer wiz, just an average user. To the tune of "I Want My M-TV" "I WANT MY OLD XP"
I bought a new computer last fall (with XP). One month later it started having problems until, over the coarse of two months with on-line help, the thing simply died. It was replaced, but with a "Free Up-Grade" to "Vista". Right away I didn't like it, and tried to return it. They would not put XP back in because there is no longer "support" for XP. Now, a year later, I HATE MY COMPUTER! Nothing's compatable! I need to learn their (MS) filing system because the way I'm used to doing things are too confusing to do on Vista" It is no more than Eye-Candy.
A total rip-off. And why can't I have the OS I orginally purchased? Because MS is ramming this thing down our throats! I don't know much about Apple's or Mac's or Lenix or whatever but, it's time I learn, for sure.

Thiago: Said: "Apple should shut the f*** up and look at how shi*** their products are."

Well Thiago, this is what separates Apple users from the Window crowd... People like you who cannot make intelligent statements of no substance!


Cheers! R.

to me, the apple television commercials always have brought to mind the Warner Brothers humor in the "Road Runner" series of animations, with Microsoft admirably serving as the Wile E. Coyote of the tech industry...

Bill Gates is the richest man on planet earth for a reason. We gave him the money because his company produced products that WE deemed necessary in our everyday lives. WE made microsoft what it is today. I imagine that MS products have touched every person on planet earth in a significant way. MS is a giant because they have products that everyone wants to use. Quit being jealous and whining, people. Everyone in business knows that it is a dog eat dog world. MS is the top dog. If you can do better go for it!

If the car dealers made a car that lasted forever and all parts were interchangable they would be bankrupt very soon. Whey do peolpe think MicroSoft should build a perfect liftime program that pleases everyone. People think they dominate the market on one hand, and critize them on the other for non-cability Bill Gates is not the riches man in the world by luck.

The better product does not always win out. beta/vhs, mac/pc, next we will blogging about hd/blueray, I use pc's but i know mac is better. I have had a mac before i really loved it but my ex got it in the divorce. man she got the gold mine i got the shaft...

Mac commercials have always ticked me off because they are a blatant mis-stating of truths. I'm speaking of things such as the big ones: Macs are better at "Multimedia" and such. Maybe it's my history of Mac programs all crashing on me, but I sit there and say, "If I paid as much money as you did on a Mac, but spent mine on a PC, it would dwarf the Mac." PCs are cheap, Macs are not. Spend the money on the software, and you can do more with a PC than on a Mac.

Now, the new ads, the ones targetting Vista, are accurate and poetic justice on Microsoft, hence really funny. Vista is not only poorly implemented, it is loaded full of Big Brother government spyware. Even a perfectly law-abiding person should be scared of that! But is a Mac the answer? Pfffsssshhh. Yeah, right.

Leopard ain't exactly cookin' all that great here at first.....

I Love Vista - Dudes, you are letting i-Tunes impact your cool factor on Apple IT. Vista is faster, accurate and intuitive with a more cost effective marketplace than Apple that was a closed/communistic sociaty for techie snobs for years until M-Soft opened the game up....

Question: What is the difference between
"Vista and Edsel".

Answer: Nothing

So many angry PC users. Don't people exhibit anger when they feel threatened? And why would anyone stick up for Microsoft? When was the last time Microsoft did anything to help them?

That said, I am a PC user. I always respected Mac's superiority in the arts, so to speak. I access the web a lot, Mac wasn't so good with it for so long. But now... Mac is superior at the web (perhaps it's largely Safari). But my husband's Mac doesn't crash after seeing a couple dozen web pages like my PC (which still has XP). I have several anti-virus/spyware, etc. programs on my PC that I have to run daily. How many of you Mac users out there have to do that? What, 2 of you? And those two are probably certifiably paranoid.

Are the commercials good? Well, from a long time PC user - HELL YEAH! And Microsoft deserves every blow that comes their way.

And, yes, I owned a Betamax. I can recognize quality over what is popularized by the blindly following masses.
