New Apple Ads Respond to Microsoft Ad Campaign

Seems like Apple's fighting back against Microsoft's new Windows campaign. Two new ads calling out MS on trying to hype the Windows brand name. They're ok, seems sort of petty to rebut a rebuttal ad.

Well they are trying to make a valid point that simply avoiding Vista's problems (the Mohave commercials) or publicly putting money into advertising Vista in its current state, isn't going to change the problem that MS faces - People are switching to Mac because they don't like Vista. MS has admitted this and yet what are they doing? Saying that users are ill informed (Mohave) or just get Jerry Seinfeld and our ex CEO to make Vista look appealing. Apple's point is that MS is addressing their problems in the wrong way. They should be fixing Vista rather than distracting people from the issue.
Honestly, all we really hear MS talk about when it concerns Windows is either "Vista is not that bad!" or "Windows 7".

I found them amusing. Honestly though, What do you expect Apple to do? Take the Microsoft approach and advertise nothing concerning their brand?

Personally, I love them. I love how PC moves the cash over on the second one... definitely got me a laugh.

Bean Counters was awesome :)

Nice find. I like these commercials even though this is like a 2 year ad campaign. Whoever does these are really creative. By the way, who does the Apple ads anyway? Are the 'Get a Mac' and 'iPod+iTunes' ads made by the same people?

I just watched them, they're FUNNY!!! PC users just don't get it, because (like their commercial says) they are PCs!

What a sad life to lead... :D

As an avid Mac user and geek I find them all hilarious. On the other hand, as an investor who wants that market share to grow more, I would like to see Apple focus more on the "Off the air" kind of ads, the ones that focus on why to switch.

Fact is - the new Im A PC Ads by Microsoft .. mean .. nothing .. they are simply saying that the person using the PC .. is using a PC.

As if unity in numbers make everything ok ... a bit like saying 100,000,000,000,0000 flies cant be wrong - Eat Sh*t! :p

I guess the next one will be Mac holding a big red button. And every time PC says 'Firewire', Mac will be buzzing. Hilarious! :(

I love the "Bean Counter" ad. Maybe people will think of it each time they see Microsoft's "I'm a PC" ads.

Apple spends money on advertising as well, but Apple doesn't have to remind people that it devotes a lot of resources to R&D since they are already known for innovation.
