14 DAY TRIAL // It's been a while since we looked at another Mac vs PC ad, hasn't it? It seems that with the passing of each day, Windows PC realizes he has very little chance keeping everyone interested in him with Mac out in the wild too. That's why PC has decided to write a sad song dubbed "the Vista Blues", which he sings to Mac, admitting he's a loser.
The latest such commercial from Apple begins, as usual, with the two OSes introducing themselves: Mac: "Hello, I'm a Mac". PC: "And I'm a PC." PC admits Vista got him "feeling down", which is why he wrote the following song:
"So many users are leavin' me And they ain't comin' back
Vista's got issues it's so glitchy They're leavin' me for Mac."
The song prompted viewers to leave comments such as "Computers suck" and "vista is crap compared to mac OSX," but also milder, more relevant ones such as: "idd im about to leave for mac the only thing th(at) keeps me using vista/my PC is im a gamer and... you cant exa(c)tly play (a)ny of the good games on a mac." Moments later, another pro-Mac comment emerged, solving the PC gamer's issue in the process: "just install xp with boot camp on the mac, then you can run windows when you want to play games and use the mac for everything else."
Mac can do it all, and PC has to stand there, watching it all happen. It is sad, isn't it? Sure, there's always flexibility with the PC, but that's where security issues emerge from, too. Then there's the huge amount of software that's available for Windows PC, but again, that exposes users to even more threats while they don't even need much of the software they're getting. Adding Vista's glitchy nature to it all... well, you get this Mac vs PC ad below.
