When I say flipped, I mean negated. They didn't feature someone saying "i'm a mac and I have no features and its impossible to upgrade me" but they did counter all the negative pc statements.

In my opinion though, both Microsoft and apple are both goons.

Do you guys have this advert in america?

Yea, it thought they did well with those commercials to counter Macs, especially the very beginning

Are you kidding me? That Microsoft commercial is fucking horrible. Even in relation to other commercials

this...

i have both in my house, and if it wasn't for gaming...i wouldn't own a PC

as for the ads....vista = fail, whereas the Mac OS, being Linux based, is stable as one could ask for...

the Mac commercials are witty, with a certain smirk factor, the vista commercials are trying WAY too hard and couldn't be "cool" if kept in a deep freezer with the Fonz
