@VectronicsAppleWorld It's all negative.

People didn't like the commercial because it was true. With 90% of the PC's being windows based, the 90% of the people using them probably didn't like being called lemmings. Personally, I think the commercial was innovative right up there with the 1984 commercial. Then again, maybe this commercial was just way ahead of it's time to be appreciated by "masses".

I think this was an ad of the times. IBM had a grip on the computer world, and Apple was trying to make better machines and partnered with Microsoft to help take down IBM and break into the business demographic. Microsoft Office on Mac was pretty advanced at the time, and it really paid off for Microsoft in how they planned their future. It's funny how the partnership between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates at the time was chaotic and yet productive.

I think this is a worthy followup to the 1984 ad.

Nothing in my opinion, but the commercial was not successful and received a lot of bad press.
