Default Microsoft PC vs Apple Mac

Microsoft has finally swung back at Apple for their past ads depecting PC users as boring, nerdy, uncool.
I'm a PC, which by the way has yet to say anything negative at Mac
Also there's a second I'm a PC ad and a third I'm a PC. It showcases the diversity of PC users, ranging from fish mongers to celebrities. Oh yeah, Eva Longoria's in it.

Mac users might think of that as 'how many PC users have been duped'. But then again, Mac's previous ads doesn't really highlight PC's benefits.

If you want to take a look at Apple's previous ads, here's one clip with 15 of the short ads.
15 Mac vs PC ads from Apple

What benefits you might ask? Gaming. Yeah, seems like Apple didn't highlight something that big in their ads.

The new I'm a PC ads paint the picture that if most people are using it, can't be wrong. In one scene a woman says she's connected to a billion other PC users. All it shows is many people using Windows. What it doesn't show is HOW it is the superior OS.

Irony. The New 'I'm a PC' ads were created using a... Mac. It's funny stuff in that they didn't make sure such info leaked out. Of course it's no surprise considering that many designers prefer to use a Mac. Wonder how they're gonna counteract this embarrassment.

I think they overlooked this, but it just goes to show how tech savvy the internet crowd is. No detail can escape.

I have always used a PC, I've never liked Mac. It did take Microsoft forever to come back at the Mac commercials but that just goes to show you that Bill Gates isn't sweating it. He knows that a big percentage of people who have computers own PC"s. And I don't get all the stabs at Vista saying they spend more on advertising than fixing its problems. One I don't really see a whole lot of advertising for Vista and two I have never had a problem with vista, I love it! So those commercial don't bother me none, I have always used a PC and I always will.

Anyways, that's just my opinion.
