Since I've been TIVO'ing for a long time, I seldom catch commercials
these days, but I happened to be watching live tv and caught (what I
assume is) a fairly new ad where the Mac & PC guy are talking about
Vista, with the Vista wheel of choices!
I laughed my head off, not so much because the ad was all that funny,
but rather, at how perfectly the ad captures the essence of what I
consider to be the "other" major Vista debacle. I stated a long time
ago what a completely moronic move it was to offer so many confusing
choices for Vista by MS, and I simply love the fact that the geniuses
doing the Mac marketing caught onto the situation and turned it into
yet another brilliant commercial bashing the pc. In fact, the entire
series of ads featuring these two guys has been absolutely brilliant
in my opinion, some of the smartest and most clever advertising done
in a long time.
Did anyone else see this Vista bashing ad and think it was as terrific as I do?
FWIW - I'm not a Mac guy, never owned one, and only very recently
considered doing so. I just happen to apprecaite all the 'valid'
points the Mac campaigns have been raising lately.
