I am in better shape. I eat better. I drive a better car. I own a bigger house. I am superior to YOU in every possible way!

Really? Seen her in a lot of her movies, and didn't recognize her in the Mac Ad.

Mac commercials are stupid and very annoying. I bet the PC guy could beat the weiner Mac emo/'hipster' down any time.

I love the use of the hound dog!

Good job, Apple. Actually, I congratulate their marketing/advertising firm more than anything.

I hate their ads, they dont say anything good about their product, just how bad the competition is. No wonder Mac users are such arrogant pricks.

That's number scewing too. More PC's are being sold today than were being sold when Windows XP came out. Vista is preinstalled on all of those computers---and most buyers aren't savy enough to know they can still get XP if they special order it.

Retail sales of Vista is nearly 40% less than anticipated, causing Microsoft of take another look at Vista + annouce a "new" version of Windows for 2009. From what I understand, Vista isn't actually the Vista that was originally planned. They couldn't get their new OS working, so they borrowed the Windows Server 2003 OS and modified it for workstation/home use.

Call foul all you want, it still counts.

There's a reason Apple has to attack a generalized "PC" as well as Windows...

I don't really care about the mac vs pc argument...and some of the commercials had made me laugh, but i thought this one was stupid, and easily the worst out of the bunch.

Hi! I'm a gamer, and don't like having to spend three times as much money for inferior hardware! So I stick to using a PC instead :D

I'm so tired of those commercials. They were funny at first, but now they just annoy me. I didn't realize how many of those ads they've done. It's no wonder there's so many Mac douchnozzles running around these days... they're even starting to infect my social circle. The other day, a friend of mine (henceforth referred to as Toolbox) would not shut up about how great the Macbook Air was. I inquired as to what made it worth paying a premium for over a standard Windows equipped notebook (that's faster, cheaper and isn't stripped down)... Toolbox failed to provide any single argument outside of "it's cool", "it's awesome" and "it's freaking sweet". :roll:

douchenozzle. found my new word of the week.

what a joke...my biggest problem is 90% of MAC users believe and worship these kinda of mentalities " PC SUX MICRO$T SUXS FTW"

Idiots - if it was for MS and IBM we would of been paying 10K for machines such as they LISA and the world of IT/business wouldnt be were it is today...Whats mac done for the world? Go have your starbucks and wear your thick rimmed black glasses pretending that somehow you're of a higher being.

Windows pays the price for being an OPEN platform..I now have Vista 64 and done tons of photoshop, VM testing, gaming, ESX, not one problem...God I don't even know where to start with these guys..

Plus you have to question a company that spends so much time putting ones product down and hardly talking about there own. Steve Bitter Jobs.

We bought a Mac Mini + Dell LCD last week for one of the employees 'cause there are no iMac small enough to fit the cube this employee sits in. Sad.

In other news, my 20" cinema display's lower backlight died. Sign of the end of an era.
