New Apple TV Ads Make Fun of Microsoft Vista (Switched)

Dec 10th 2007 7:03PM 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.
