Apple has released three new "Get a Mac" ads... funny. PING!

Mac "Get a Mac" Ad Ping!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

Vista must have been coded prior to XP; it’s the only explanation.

I guess I’m one of those brain washed Mac users, but I liked the commercials (especially pizza box. IT’S SO TRUE!)

Saw the pizza box one yesterday, pretty funny.

Thanks for the ping!
Could use a laugh!

If Apple wants to really bring down Microsoft, they should drop the price of a mac.

Until they do that, Microsoft will still have an overwhelming market share and the commercials will accomplish little more than allowing mac fanboys another chance to high five each other.

Anyone knows I'm not a huge fan of Microsoft and their tattleware products. I'm just stating the situation here in the cheap seats. If I need a new computer and one is $500 and the other $2,000, I'm going to have to get the $500 one.

I held off for years but...I’m getting my wife a laptop next month for her business. It will be a Vista machine since that is really all you can get really.

I will be loading Linux Ubuntu and Open Office on it.

Personally, I’d rather save the money and get the Mac, even if it’s more expensive! I like the get a counselor ad.

This one’s hilarious!

If my resources were unlimited, I would go Apple.

Really like Apple ads, slapping Microsoft around a little is a good thing because of Vista (for a whole host of reasons). Running XP Pro on my old Gateway 400 MHz, no problems (am somewhat amazed myself). Depending on what the hell “7” turns out to be will decide if my next will be PC or Apple.

I learnt how to install legacy apps on Vista this week. I also lernt how to configure the UI, even going back to the “Classic” look with the Vista feel. I learnt how to configure the performance options, too.

I charged my customer $300.00 for “tuning” his lappy and installing 3 legacy apps. LOL

I’m going to LOVE Vista!

Mac's do not allow you to run anything but their stuff, and that includes running other peoples stuff in an emulated environment. Furhtermore, PC's allow you to run a plethora of applications and operating systems from a plethora of hardware manufacturers. In addition they cost four times as much as a PC for the same performance. So in my opinion MAC’s are the machine for elitists by elitists.

Those Mac ads are cool!!!

[Revolting cat!]

Macs are a _itch to service, tells me a certified (by the fruit company) Mac tech, adding that no wonder they can’t get into corporate environments.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

The “calming teas” one is brilliant - the tea for dealing with system crashes is, of course, BSOD blue. One of the best ads ever.

Hey wait a minute... I’ve *got* a “pizza box Mac”, a Performa 6360...

In recent months I have added both a new laptop and desktop to the computing farm here. Both run Vista Home Premium. Both operate without a hitch and have had no issues with older peripherals.

Our Mac experience was painful and brief. Wife bought one for her graphics needs...1) paid way more than a comparable PC-based system, 2) monitor committed suicide, 3) ongoing problems with peripherals (scanner, printer), 4) unable to upgrade the OS beyond 8.5 (as I recall) and 5) is now a lovely doorstop.

I have no interest in repeating any of that experience.
