I think it showed some of the things that the PC does..... I'm a PC.... I study genes.... Major laboratories run use PC's.... Windows servers are powerful... I'm a PC... I broadcast.... I have affordable and professional sound engineering software programs that are rival that of the MAC equivalent. I'm a PC... I turn Doooo into energy.... Windows servers are pretty powerful... I'm a PC... I'm connected to a billion others world-wide... Okay... so are macs, but a strong suit of Windows has been it's widespread adoption.. I still watch all the tech gadget shows... "There is no mac version available" is still the most used phrase when reviewing new products. I'm a PC... I'm more affordable!!!!! I think this is the first step in the right direction for them. HOWEVER VISTA STILL SUCKS! I don’t know. I think it showed some of the things that the PC does…..

I did NOT like the Bill Gates & Jerry Seinfeld ads. The new PC ad is okaya, but I agree with Winnie, it doesn't say anything about what it does for the those people. It would be helpful to hear why they use a PC and what they like about it.t I like the mac vs. pc ads. I did NOT like the Bill Gates & Jerry Seinfeld ads.

I think highlighting the omnipresence of the Windows PC does nothing to show its advantages over the Mac, which are debatable. I don't think it shows any originality on the part of Microsoft, just that they are finally reacting to Apple's very successful ad campaign. I'm not sure if it's generated as much in sales as Apple would like us to believe, but it's fun and highlights the weaknesses of "Wintel". Now that I have used both a Mac and a PC, I think the user experience is probably better on a Mac, while the Windows "run on any PC" strategy is its greatest strength and weakness. I did have a horrible experience with Vista installed on a new laptop with the vendor's added software. When I reinstalled with "plain" Vista Home Premium and just the applications I need, Vista runs like a champ. Too bad the average user doesn't know how to do that, or want to go through the hassle.

I could only take about 2 minutes of that ad. Way too long. I like the last one "I'm a PC". The Mac commercial was better IMO. The 2nd one with the family eating..

I don't like this direct bashing, never have. The brilliance of the Mac vs. PC ads is that they show the difference between the two, shows where they are better. These PC ads show nothing about how Windows works, or what would make it better then another OS (specifically Mac). I don’t agree with you. I don’t like this direct bashing, never have.
