why dosent microsoft think of thier own "slogans" if thats what you call it. Apple obviously has the whole "im a mac and im a pc" thing. Why does microsoft have to copy, make somthing else up.

[shadyarmik]

My argument with them exactly! They had a $300 million advertising campaign, this was their chance to really change people's perceptions about Microsoft but instead what do they do? they confirm what people have been saying about them all along...they're just a photocopying company! Anything Apple do MS follow.

Remember when the Apple started the Get a Mac ads... The Mac was Justin Long and the PC was John Hodgeman. Its not about the computer users, its about the computers themselves. Eg. When John Hodgeman gets a Webcam attached to his fucking head, he's a computer, not a PC user.

Seriously, we know that lots and lots of different people use PCs, and... we know that PC's are a pain in the ass to use. Try a Mac, and you'll love 'em. If you play video games still, get a PC.

Enjoy urself.

for sure. i do miss my PC games though and I dont restart my system enough in Boot camp to even get native speeds on my games anymore so I dont bother with PC games to be honest. 360 all the way for me lol

[shadyarmik]

haha what can i say..Apple get us all eventually. its like some sort of new religion. you wont regret it tho. i switched about 2 months ago now, and love it

im a pc guy as well but this ad just messed everything up for pc becuz they used to a MAC to make this commercial how could they do something so stupid now MAC has the greatest retaliation against it "im a pc and i think in Mac" is what this ad was implying

[shadyarmik]

yea i just read that, how stupid is that! Microsoft always shoot themselves in the foot, first they told us that Vista doesnt Blue screen and then on its release date, half of Youtube had posted vids of it blue screening. What can you do...except switch to a Mac lol

[TrueGamer14]

I like the commercial alot, basically because some of my MAC user friends are always telling me how it blows but i like the pc alot just because ive had one for so long. ive tried macs and they are cool and everything i just cant really get used to it

[01stray]

lol i know,i mean if you go so low as to use very thing that youre telling people not to buy what hope is there left for your arguement looks like im a mac guy now...wow that felt uncomfortable saying but the next time buying a system its gonna be a mac and it wasn't even the MAC vs PC ad that made me go MAC how messed up is that.
