New Apple Television ad targets Windows 7

You knew it was going to come. Windows 7 was released today and Apple began airing new Mac and PC ads on television.

The new ad is called “Broken Promises” and aired on local television stations on the East Coast this evening. John Hodgman and Justin Long are in fine form in the latest ads.

“Hey Mac, did you hear the good news?”

“What?”

Windows 7 is out and it’s not going to have any of the problems my last operating system had. Trust me.”

And with that we see PC (John Hodgman) in a flashback saying the exact same thing about previous operating systems that Microsoft released over the years.

Another ad called “Teeter Tottering” shows a woman who is making the switch to Mac, after a persistent PC fails to win her over. The final TV spot called “PC News” portrays PC as a news anchor, but when they go to the reporter on the street, the people are talking about switching to the Mac.

More classic Mac/PC ads for sure.

Really?

They get worse and worse each time, Apple are really scraping the bottom of the barrel now.

Not only did I get a kick out of them, I love seeing Gates get shafted for what he has perpetrated on the world.

Microsoft is a fair target for these ads. If MS really was sincere, they would give Windows 7 for free or for really cheap, as an apology for the big disappointment that Vista was. As such, Win7 is merely a “fix”, Windows Vista done right (some 3 years later).

Haha, this has to be the stupidest mindset ever.

Why on Earth would Microsoft give away an OS when it is rock solid? How does that make business sense?

Apple should give away the iPod touch for free as an apology for itunes and all the dead iPods around the world.
