haha I love those Mac adds, I even went back and watched a few old ones, good marketing, I have Vista which came with my laptop and it works but i wouldn't mind a Mac but they're a bit pricey.

They've had PC guy in a video at the last two Apple Developer Conferences, it's pretty funny, he comes on saying Apple has decided to shut down because Vista is just too hard to compete against, so all the attendees should just go home

*obligatory hug of Macbook Pro*
Don't worry baby, I'll never put Vista on you!

BTW Mac fans, prove your fandom and watch Pirates of Silicon Valley!

annirowe said: Oh my god that is such an incorrect statement.. Maybe so with the macbooks... but with the mighty mouse you can do it. Or you just hold the command button down if your on a macbook, or the other option (and the one I use) is to put two fingers on the trackpad and click!
And you dont need it as much on Mac anyway (although I use it all the time.. throwback from the old Windows days!!!!

well thx for that anni. i think ill buy a mac book now.

Oh sorry about the double post...Im sure you will live!

There is one more ad that Apple have completed and that has just been played on US tv. I havent been able to find it on Apple's website so here is a transcript that a friend was kind to do for me last night:

PC is dressed in his underwear, socks, and an undershirt, with his normal suit neatly hung on a Hanger.

Mac: Hello, I'm a Mac...
PC: ... and I'm a PC. Well Mac, here ya go, Congratulations, it's yours. (Handing his clothes to Mac)
Mac: Uh, PC I don't understand.
PC: PC world did a test. Apparently the fast Windows Vista Laptop is Mac, so to the Victor, the spoils.
Mac: Oh, you don't have to...
PC: Take good care of her, Mac. She's a beaut.
Mac: Ah, PC I'm flattered but I am actually pretty excited about my new operating system, Leopard. It's got tons of new features... (PC rolls eyes) ... but Hey you still still run Vista pretty fast, PC.
PC: Yeah, that's true. Second fastest (proudly).
Mac: Second Fastest!!
PC: In the world!!
Mac: Not.... bad at all...
PC: Ha heh.... second best! (Raising arms up in Victory.)

I will post the clip shortly.

***************** NEW POST **********************

Seeing some admin hijacked my post im now forced to change my wording I now have to edit the damn thing. Next time leave the post alone my god!

May I present to you the Newest Apple Ad. I was gonna post in the christmas thread, maybe I link to this thread! Anyway... Enjoy!

Ugh. If you knew anything about PC's they wouldn't be so funny because they just talk utter s***. And don't get sucked in? By what? Microsoft doesn't try and suck anyone in, you don't see anything with this kind of marketing from them shoved down your throats do you?

Funny thing is PC's don't really have fanboys, they have people like me who know that Windows is far from perfect, but only bother saying anything because Mac has all these delusional fanboys who believe the Mac propaganda. And a new computer is a big investment so why wouldn't Cham want to get it right, at least with a PC he gets the option of choosing every part he wants to put in it. If he didn't want to do that he could buy a Mac yes, or pay less and get something from Harvey Norman. Paying twice as much there still works out cheaper than a Mac.

A Mac would suit my parents, they don't know anything about computers, they don't play games, they just want to look at stuff on the internet and write letters. Once they got used to the ridiculous version of Office Mac has they would probably be fine. Unfortunately for that one Mac sale, whenever I upgrade my PC they get my old one, which according to the valve hardware survey is still quite above the average GAMERS PC so hardly going to be slower than a computer for their purposes...

Okay Im not going to buy into this whole argument again, from one sided people who are uneducated and suffering from Tunnel Vision. Yes Mac and Windows have different purposes, Yes If I want to play games then I could go and get a windows PC, but then I have to deal with all the problems associated with a windows PC. Like I have said its my opinion, im not trying to jam something down your throat... I have worked, built, played on and supported PC's for 20 years now.... and its my opinion that the Mac hardware combined with the operating system leads to a far supperior system. One that I dont spend 40% of the time fixing and constantly guiding through rough patches. I switch it on and it works.

Ahh jeez now look aI went and bought into it! Damn. Ahh anyway the real reaosn I came to post in this thread... a new ad running on the New York Times Website...

Hey annirowe.. I've had Leopard on my Macbook Pro since October 26th! :^) I upgraded my wife's Macbook Pro too.

We haven't really had any problems. But figured that the value of Time Machine alone was worth upgrading for. And I've had to use it a few times in the last week or two. I would upgrade for this alone!

My XP PC (I have to use this in the shop), packed in the other morning, so I had to rush out and get a new machine... and typically it came with Vista.

Now I'm a full-time Mac person of the last 6 years, and have used just about every version of Windows in my 23 year IT career...

But VISTA....

Wow. What can I say.

From experience, I can honestly say this is THE WORST OS I HAVE EVER USED. What were MS thinking? It looks hideous, it's looks like a dog's breakfast, just look at the Windows Explorer screen.. no more menu bar, now you have to try and find what you want to do, rather than just going to the menu. I've had the PC for 2 days now, and I'm ready to send it back. If it wasn't so critical to the running of the shop software I would through it out yesterday!

I'm sorry, there IS NO comparison between OSX and Vista. OSX win's hands down. And if you were to put the two (fairly) in front of your average home user, I can bet that more people would go OSX in a fair test.

Oh, and I just updated my iPod Touch too... got the missing programs that should have been there before (although I'm none too impressed with having to pay for it while a new one gets them as standard AND a price cut)

But anyhow, I LOVE the iPod Touch!! I was lying in bed the other night replying to someone's email, and found the whole process quick and easy. Occasionally I'll do it on my PSP, but in comparison, typing an email on the Touch is much faster than trying to do it on the PSP. And the Google Maps option... that's so cool!! Grab a contact from your address book and whammo, a pin in their yard appears on the screen!!

My trusty iPod Video has now definitely been relegated to ebay!! I held on to it just in case, but now it's oot! :^)

Time machine is very cool indeed.
In MS's defense it has done that for a very long time, a windows server has the option of creating "shadow copies" which desktops can access via a "previous versions" tab in the folder properties BUT it wasn't until Vista they put it into a non server environment.

I've used both platforms windows being my bread and butter as a system tech but I love Mac and Linux more.
Windows is fine overall as it happily runs the 3rd party apps I prefer to the MS versions (VLC and Firefox ftw!), it's just the random crashes and freezing that annoy me.

I love the fact these ad's create more Mac awareness, when asked what to buy I happily tell people that macs are secure/easy with certain differences, especially in an age where the general population just wants the net and email. They love the fact they don't have to worry about viruses and stuff like that.
