Get a Mac -8

[EvanjsX]

It's funny because mac's let you work type and use pretty much any language for 30 dollars for the OS, there's no Ultimate edition or whatever, Lion is the equivalent of Windows Ultimate, it's the newest OS from Apple you can get, except it's $30 instead of $220, and you get nearly any language for free. Work in, type, read, anything. Microsoft forces you to buy Ultimate for the "Language Packs" Yeah no I'll just restart my computer back into Lion. Windows for games, Mac for everything else.

I loveeeeee at the end when PC says 'Bonjorno' LOOL to show that PC's usually don't have the correct drivers and if you do get a driver, it probably wont be able to talk to the the device LOOOL love it!

I have a Panasonic SDR-S10 and it isn't compatible with Macs. It connects but that Apple can't recognize it's movie format without a 3rd party program. These movie files are .mod, a type of mpeg-2.

So basically that proves that this commercial is vague and innacurate, just like all Apple ad campaigns...

What they are criticizing is the language capabilities of the PC vs. Mac. Mac is compatible with over 100 different languages and can switch from one language to another while the PC cant.

Hmmm, I disagree. To me it seems pretty clear that the point that they are making is about connectivity. Language is just being used as a metaphor.

Besides, changing the input and display language in Windows is as simple as switching it over in the control panel. According to Microsoft's own website Windows supports over 140 languages.

After you download the software. And even after you download the software, it isn't integrated throughout the whole system. Then when you go to websites that are writing in that language the computer can't read it because it has a different code (Really frustrating). Anyone who is fluent in another language and/or is a language major and owns/ previously owned a PC knows this.

@sagef0ur Prior to Vista/Seven you couldn't change the installation language (menus, OS messages, help docs etc.) without reinstalling the OS or using a multi-lingual version of e.g. Windows XP. Of course you could change the input language and supported non-unicode characters set to anything you like but that's a totally different thing. On Vista/7 you can also change the language of the whole OS, if you download a hefty update (in the 10s of MBs).
