As ugo said, these ads are off target. All these ads will do is remind people more of apple

It simply isn’t effective. If one were to look for an edge or motif it is simply the fact people are repeating a statement. As an ad its plain and borrowed from any number of commercials from years gone by. Sorry. I am not a PC. I use one though.

Those ads are so lame.

John Hodgman is not a PC user, he’s a PC. Justin Long is not a Mac user, he’s a Mac. The Apple ads are not making fun of PC users (or Windows users, for that matter), they are depicting PCs as boring, somewhat predictable (but ultimately undependable), business-type machines. This has nothing to do with PC users, so the MS ads are very much off-target, as a rebuttal.

Yes, they are cool ads, in themselves, but obviously MS (or their ad agency) didn’t get it.

Sure beats those really really awful 'Springsteen' ripoffs.
