No doubt you’ve heard Microsoft pulled the Seinfeld/Gates ads.  This evening I saw the new commercials for Microsoft:

SEE! PC’s are cool too!  Blah, Blah.  Personally, whatever system is needed to finish the job is the one I’ll use.  I prefer the Mac for my everyday surfing and whatnot because I find their operating system to be more reliable and stable.  It has nothing to do with the flashy designs and the cutesy graphics.    In fact, those are the things that I wish Apple would get rid of because it’s just bloated crap that robs my applications of valuable memory.

Speaking of operating systems, there are a number of folks building ‘hackintosh’ computers, PCs that are running the Apple OS X.  I think the Mac ads are getting a bit played out anyway so they should embrace the folks running OS X on PCs in the final commercial featuring ‘Mac’ & ‘PC.’

Mac: Hello, I’m a Mac.

PC: And I’m a PC.

Mac: Hey, that’s a nice tie.  What is that, a leopard print?

PC: Yes, it is.  It’s part of my new operating system.

Mac: Wait, you’re running…

PC: Yes, I am running OS X.  You see, both of us use similar chip sets now.  So, instead of spending my days fearing viruses, locking up and being jealous of you, I am now running the same operating system as you.

Mac: That’s great, PC.  Ah, you know that the operating system was made for Apple Hardware, so there’s no guarantee that it will work flawlessly?

PC: Could you please just let me have this one victory?  Now, what’s  a widget?  Is that like a gadget?

Mac: Yeah, let me show you something. NYTimes Vista Rips off OS X.

Oh, and some people think they are proving how lame Microsoft is because they figured out the new “I’m a PC” ads were made with Macs.  Guess what, that just proves how lame you are.  Of course they were made with Macs!  The film and video industry has been dominated by Macs since the days of Buster Keaton & Fatty Arbuckle.  Microsoft has no more control of the company they hired to make their ads than you do of the the company that makes your Star Wars t-shirt in Bangladesh.  So Microsoft paid someone with a Mac to make their ads and you support sweat shops, congratulations you’re a pathetic bastard.
