I love these Apple ads. Funny thing is, I never really noticed them until after I had already purchased my Mac. Wonder if others really switch to Mac because of these ads.

Speaking personally, I can say that it was a large part of my switch. I was a Windows sysadmin at the time and these ad's just hit the sweet spot for me. Clever, clever Apple.

And two years later, I sill love the ad campaign.

Cheers.

They do cheer me up, because it's the sort of cockups that MS tend to make. :p

I love that it kind of makes fun of PC's reputations as "fast", reinforcing that there's more to overall quality than mere speed.

Pretty good!

have to agree that Apple aren't fast with fixes but it sure beats Microsoft when it comes down to it. 10.5.3 has pretty much covered all the bases... hopefully .4 will fill in the gaps.

The ad is running on The Washington Post's homepage. I think it's cute.
