 |
|
| I just saw a new "Get a Mac" ad on TV during the Colt vs Bolts playoff game. It's for TM and one of the better ads. I don't see it on Apple's site yet, but I bet you'll agree once you see it. |

I like this commercial because it presents a feature of Leopard. The ones poking fun at Vista are getting old. They are starting to come off as being immature and mean spirited. Plus, PC guy is really the more likable character. JMHO

I definitely agree with you, I am tired of the commercials saying how horrible vista is. I also do like the PC guy and all of his funny shenanigans. |

Yes, more funny and less cynical.

I agree. I like the "let me show you what I can do" approach of this ad versus the "Vista is bad" ads. It's more positive, and I think more Apple-like.

| I'm not sticking up for Vista, but doesn't it have a backup utility of its own? |

It's like looking in the mirror. And that's why you should go see the Bucket List. 
I thought you guys would like that ad. It's nice to see them focus back on Leopard a bit instead of just taking jabs at Vista. |
