Apple has begun airing three new "Get a Mac" ads on U.S. network and cable television.
In "Pizza Box," PC stoops to disguising himself as a pizza to get college students to even look his way.

In "Throne," PC sits atop his throne, but Mac puts a damper on his fun.

In "Calming Teas," Windows PC offers user "calming teas" to deal with the mess that is Windows Vista.

Thank you for your comments. They speak volumes as to your ability to hold an adult discussion.
As I send my daughter off to college, I feel comfortable with the fact that she will not have to deal with the problems I have with my PC, as she now has the family’s first Mac. Now my wife wants one, damn.
On a Mac thread infected with PC bigots, you expect adult conversations?
Some people can't afford food, but I don't think that is the demographic Apple is shooting for.
If you can't afford one, then common sense dictates that you not buy one, But I don't think, you should throw stones at people who can.
You probably wouldn't drive a Yugo down to a BMW dealer and demand that they make their car as affordable to you as the Yugo, so why come on a Mac ping list and gripe at the Mac owners?
Wow, I must have really touched a nerve, you Apple owners sure are a testy lot, aren't' you!
Point in fact, I did not come onto this thread to complain about Apple prices, my original comment had to due with the fact that even with a now WHOPPING 8% of the market, Apple continues to embarrassingly undersell poor (virus ridden) PC. You were the one that jumped me and started in with all your silly analogies.
Don't oversell your importance, your arguments are spurious, and indefensible. No Mac user cares about market share, except in terms of how it may improve their experience, you on the other hand use market share to defend your personal choice. Just pack it in, you are of no further interest to me.
