Well after Jerry Seinfeld was canned from the Microsoft commercials, we see the next “phase” of ads, this time entitled “I’m a PC”.  They are OK, but I’m curious as to what’s ahead for these.

Now that ad isbetter than the one with Seinfeld.

A definate improvement over the seinfeld series.

I still would rather see ads just come out tell you what they are selling though

what a gay ad. IF microsoft think that will make some1 buy windows it definately isnt me BUT seeing as we dont have a choice in what OS we choose then hey of course i will buy windows.

I like the fact that its a jab right back at the I'm a PC/ I'm a Mac ad.

They won' sell many PCs if they send their CEO down my screen

LOL....yeah, but pretty much anything would have been better than the first ad.

The whole thing escapes my understanding and really puts me to .

"The Zen of M$"....that was Zen and thi$ i$ now.

oh well.......

Took its time but what a brilliant response. I love it.

I'm a PC and I have a beard.

After the Apple ads, I didn't think we could sink any lower.  Kudos to Microsoft for being able to come up with even dumber commercials.

Bandwagons suck people. I respect Microsoft for the message they are sending. 

 

Mac is this whole high and mighty thing while those who use PC are just normal people. Mac is targeted to the "cool" people, which is very condescending. 

 

You guys need to get slapped in the face by reality if you think those ads are crap.

Yup.

What's missing is asking any of those people if they ever owned or tried a MAC. I wonder how many of them even have Vista or aren't complaining about it. Do you think the school teacher in the third world country is running Visat or has a PC capable of running Vista?

Mac has people that never have or would have considered looking at a Mac interested. It's not to be cool but 'Hmmm..What's so cool about it?'

This new ad just has people saying 'I still use a PC'.  They need to back it up with some substance. All they are doing is trying to make the people that own PC's feel comfortable about it. They aren't telling them why they should feel good.

"Do you think the school teacher in the third world country is running Visat or has a PC capable of running Vista?"

 

Do you think they'd even have a computer?

...that's been built within the last 10 years. (edit button is crap)

More likely to have some form of PC than such a 'premium' machine as a Mac...
