WTF? Apple now attacking Vista's UAC

[NFS4]

Just saw this ad while watching 30 Rock (UAC is annoying, so it's kinda funny)

They showed it during Grey's Anatomy about 15 minutes ago. Was the first time I've seen that particular commercial.

I'm really tired of those Mac ads.

most aspects of vista suck when compared with well-designed operating systems such as the linux or bsd variants... it is hardly surprising that apple capitalizes on this simple fact in its advertising campaigns

thank god we don't have that crap on Australian TV....we don't get Apple Mac advertisements on TV here, mainly because Macs don't sell well here...alot like American cars..

I originally thought they were unproductive, until I began using one solely at my work. I have found that I can be almost as productive, if not more in some cases on the Mac. It's a matter of learning the system, and the keyboard shortcuts. There are adjustments you have to make, but you learn them in time. I have found programs that are very similar to their Windows counterparts that work just as well as on my PC. Add in the fact that you have a UNIX shell under the hood and you can get many things done that you can't do on XP.

As for the Ad, I just saw it a few minutes ago. I haven't liked those ads since the beginning, and they portray mac users as pompous art student losers. Also, I heard a couple months ago that Apple was firing that Mac guy. Anyone know what happened to that?

Edit: I found some info on that mac guy thing. They only come from blog posts so who knows how reputable they can be.
