Choose a Vista had me laughing. These seem as if they would have worked better with a Leopard Release, I guess the Ad agency did not get the memo on the Oct. Delay. (I kid) I wonder how many more they have.

wow, the ads are getting more and more daring! theyre really trying to get at MS....they shouldn't be gloating so much though because of the Leopard delay. But I guess they're acknowledging some legitimate problems Vista has.

Hopefully not many. I think this campaign has had some great ads, but they're really beating a dead horse by this point. (I also liked the Choose a Vista one)

These are better than the last batch and certainly better than the YouTube ad. I am surprised they took so long in creating an ad that knocks the 6 different Vista versions.

I still wish they would just focus on their own true strengths...more specific reasons than "it just works" or PC bashing.

The funny thing is "PC" is the star of the ads. They are about his troubles and adventures and Mac just sits there making snide comments. Shrugging excessively does not change the fact that he's not being very nice. That's why the "genius" one was good, because the roles were reversed.

Looks like Mac got a haircut. ...12" MacBook Pros on Tuesday! :D


Choose a Vista is the best out of the three, followed by Genius, and lastly, Party is Over. I really like the first two, but the third is lacking.

Hopefully Knocking wasn't posted on Apple.com because it will never air on TV - it just makes no sense.

These aren't Mac commercials anymore. They are a Vista attack campaign. If you are going to beat the competition, you have to give it a little respect. Even professional athletes get this.

I agree. The third ad makes more sense than Knocking and alludes to the same thing vis-a-vis drivers and such. Knocking blows chunks, IMHO.
