Apple has debuted four new ads in its "Get a Mac" campaign on broadcast and cable television networks across the U.S. The new ads take direct aim at Microsoft Windows and the various woes it inflicts upon its sufferers. The "Biohazard Suit" spot targets Windows' inherent insecurity, rampant viruses, worms, and other assorted malware. "Legal Copy" highlights the fact that every Windows boast requires extensive legal disclaimers and qualifiers. "Stacks" explains iPhoto's facial recognition capabilities; sounds expensive, but it's free with every Mac. In "Time Traveler," PC takes a trip into the future to the year 2150 to see how Windows works. It still doesn't.

Still funny after all these years. :-) “Future PC just froze.”
Oh those ads are a kick... LOL..
thank god I can pay so much more for a Smac
They are just afraid that Windows 7 is going to clean their clocks. From the positive reviews it has received from beta testers Windows 7 sounds like a solid platform that corrects the mistakes made by V—— (blech).
Lol!
Love ‘em!

And it is true. I have been testing Win7 for some time and it is already very solid and fast and will certainly replace the horrid travesty MS called Vista. They were also smart with Win7 in that it loads nicely on Intel Macs and gets around the differences between PCs and Macs (non-tech explanation).
I presently have an iMac running OSX, Win7 and Ubuntu Linux -— ALL NATIVELY. Nice. Apple is worried about Win7.
thank god mac is taking gonna take over the market cause it runs multiple platforms, It’s about time!!
Pure hype.
Win7 is using nearly the same exact kernel as Vista.
It’s basically Vista with more refinements and polish.
I loved Time Traveler the best
Oops “gonna take over” must be my windows system.
Why would that bother Apple -- they're in the business of selling hardware; the OS is a "systems" packaging feature to sell physical machines.
If you're buying an iMac, then Apple's happy, regardless of what you run on it.

I think Apple will continue to be Apple, and as such, will not be able to get as much computer market share as they could. They still live with their ever-present closed architecture attitude which severely limits market share for them. If it had not been for the iPod, they would have tanked a long time ago, in my opinion. Complicating their situation, too, is the lack of third party software. Until they open their architecture and encourage software development, they will remain the follower in computer hardware.
Just saying cause you know that I cannot network and I sure as hell cannot print or manufacture graphics.
ok so all I see is the same ol same ol...blah....blah....blah...
Yeah. It’ll just work this time.
Honest.
