'Leopard is better and faster than Vista' Web Ad

Thursday January 17, 2008 4:26 pm PST by Arnold Kim
A new Mac web ad has appeared on the New York Times. Similar to the Don't Give Up on Vista web ad, the Flash-based advertisement crosses over two distinct ad components (skyscraper and leaderboard).

The full advertisement is posted on Youtube.

pretty good one, though I am getting a bit tired of this particular campaign.

The campaign may be getting old, but I must say I always enjoy the new commercials. For some reason, they just seem to always make me smile!

Genius!!!!!!

Seriously. This ad is a little more complicated to pull off than the last one, but the marketers are not being paid enough.

"A new Mac web ad has appeared on the New York Times"

...and in the Wall Street Journal site too, of course, given the nature of the add.

I wish they would do some ads that actually show off parts of the OS instead of saying it's better without explaining why. Every time I've showed OS X's features to someone who wasn't familiar with them, they were impressed... Apple never bothers to do that themselves.

I like how this ad is probably driving traffic to NYT site. I went there for the first time to check the ad and spent my lunch hour browsing their articles.

I don't always like the Mac-PC ads, but I like this one. Good job!

I, too, like the ads that show you what you can do with a Mac, like the Time Machine one. That's a step in the right direction. I can't help but like this one though, this one's funny.

"Come on, Mac! We've got the whole Internet to correct!"

:D

I agree. I think they should follow along the lines of the Time Machine ad as opposed to continuing along this path.
