I think it's a hilarious and brilliant strategy. Don't know where you got the nervous part from.

Microsoft made Apple look like morans, and all Apple could do was make a commercial about a stack of cash in retaliation.

It is some of the best ownage i've seen in a while....

Nervous about losing business to hip, young Apple users? :D

Microsoft was content to let Apple go about it's merry way making Windows look like unusable crap. But it looks like Microsoft finally brought nukes to a gun fight, and is taking a reasonable defense of its products.

It was in the contract when I signed my soul over to Apple. Cursed fine print :(

How did they do that? All I saw was a bunch of people saying "I'm a PC" and a bunch of weird Gates/Seinfeld ads...

Also, I think it's spelled "morons", not "morans" ;)

Without going political by reciting Microsofts past history to maintain their monopoly, I'd say the M$ is justified.

Apples rebuttal commercial is moronic. They do the same exact thing. I love how they accuse Microsoft of spending all this money advertising...in an advertisement.

I think they overshot their nukes with the last few commercials lol. The Gates/Seinfeld ones were kind of on the obscure side and the "I'm a PC" commercials don't do much to make me want to buy a PC - especially that last one where the boxer knocks a guy out and say in a mean voice "I'm a PC - got a problem with that?". Intimidation ftl :Q

Apple's rebuttals were terrible and pointless. They mock Microsoft for spending money on ads.......really? Apple is mocking somebody for spending money on advertising??? Apple lives on advertising! It's what they do! It was absurd.

The other new one - the buzzer for the word Vista - is also pointless. I guess Apple's marketing staff has missed the Mojave commercials MS has been running, which very clearly show surprised people saying "this is Windows Vista??? Wow!"

I think it's hilarious how people whine about how annoying the Apple commercials are, but when Microsoft does the same thing they love it. :laugh:

I don't know what it is about Apple that pisses people off so much. Doesn't seem to matter though, apparently their marketing works amazingly well.

I'm not partial to macs at all and have never used one but I can definitely say their commercial was a lot more funny.

The cupcake one was actually pretty funny, but also pointless.....I don't think Microsoft is hurting for money.
