The problem with that ditty, is that they portray the wrong side winning.

At the end read the red screen and note the fail safe. That would determine the final outcome.

I loved the PC's "upgrade" from Vista to XP at 2:44 to speed it up.

I caught it this time when he changes from blue to red. Somehow that’s symbolic too.

So it takes 4 Macs to beat a PC? Theoretically, that would mean it would take $10,000 worth of Macs to beat a $400 PC.

Not a very pro-Mac commercial, IMHO.

Go full screen it’s very readable. If you can’t get the one at this link to go full screen go to: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=004_1233438864

I didn’t understand what PWNAGE.EXE is supposed to mean in the message sent in the end. where the message goes out Commence Global Takeover....Sending PWNAGE.EXE....Sent “PC’s TRANSFORM” It looks like it’s a file from the new IPhone

I looked it up in the Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pwnage :

Pwnage

Pure Ownage as used in online gaming to stress your superiority on all levels. Spawned from the root word pwn, which originated as a misspelling of the word own. Hence this stupid word is two screw-ups away from anything close to english.
William’s pwnage in that game was complete and utter.

Not only that, but it took 4 desktops to beat the PC laptop.

I had always held Mac in a higher regard than that.

Upgrading to XP is the most factual part of the flix.

Very clever; I’ll wait for the sequel, “Return of the Servers,” when the desktops and units from IT show up; before I decide.

I work in IT. My boss converted us from PCs to MacBook Pros, mainly because he hates Microsoft. The MacBooks are better, but they are not all they they have been touted to be. Mine freezes up and I have to remove the battery to get it to reboot. The hardest part is that before you do anything, you have to figure out how to make the tool (MacBook) do it like a PC,before you can actually approach the real work, because not very many applications have built in interfaces with Macs.

I like the Mac for non work things, but for work I'd rather have a good Dell.
