These are wonderful. A thing of beauty.

(and, oh, yeah - first!)

Broken promises definitely had me laughing- ... trust me.

Sharpening the knives a little today. WOW!

"Broken Promises" made me laugh.

I wish they had made one that elaborated a little more on the troubles of going from XP to 7, though.

So true

Broken Promises is the best..........I LOL'd

Awesome ads.

They all definitely hit home.

PS The girl moving from XP is very cute.

At least you can upgrade from XP to 7! You are SOL if you had a 3 yr old Mac Pro with a PowerPC! LOL. No Snow for you. Hahaha

Ha! Funny! Awesome Job on these ads!

Apple is finally moving in the general direction of...
the JUGULAR.

It's about goddam time!

Broken Promises is P-E-R-F-E-C-T!

The people with all their beat up little boxes of stuff is a great image.

(PC) Let's go to a commercial. (Mac) We are a commercial.

Awesome.

@John...
You can go back to blowing yourself...
Just leave the poor dog alone, ferchrissakes!

LMFAO!! "Broken Promises" is the funniest commercial I've seen all year. They need to run that any and every where they can.

Brutal. Apple eviscerated M$.

Oct 22, 09 - 10:18 pm Comment from: JadisOne

Simply brilliant!!! They drive the point home well.

Oct 22, 09 - 10:19 pm Comment from: John

Ohh, that last one.... the 80s outfits.... Comic genius!

Oct 22, 09 - 10:20 pm Comment from: ken1w

Wow! "Broken Promises" is even better.

"Windows 2"?

"At least you can upgrade from XP to 7! You are SOL if you had a 3 yr old Mac Pro with a PowerPC! LOL. No Snow for you. Hahaha"

If you're using a computer from the pre-2006 era, it's time for an upgrade.

For the record, a large number of recent PC's (custom built computers and Dells) were either shipped or built with XP. Recent Macs shipped with Intel CPU's.

Oh, and most importantly, if you for some reason can't upgrade, Leopard is still a fine OS. Vista on the otherhand...

Enjoy your bloated OS or ancient OS from the beginning of the 21st century.

John, there is no such thing as a mac pro with a power pc chip. the first mac pro was intel.

Broken Promises is great, saw it on NBC tonight.

When Vista came out, it wouldn't run on a 3 year old PC! So shut up before you say something really stupid...

Great commercials. Run them everywhere and frequently. Convert every PC user to Mac.

yes...best line in a commercial yet IMO. Too funny

Oct 22, 09 - 10:38 pm Comment from: ericdano

OMG, these are great. Sock it to Microcrap!

Broken Promises was pretty fun to watch, but I think I liked PC News the best.

Oct 22, 09 - 10:52 pm Comment from: MediaXYZ

I have a three and a half year old Mac that runs Snow leopard faster than it used to run Tiger. I'm not sure it would be the same with a PC of the same age upgrading to Windows 7.

John writes, "You are SOL if you had a 3 yr old Mac Pro with a PowerPC! LOL. No Snow for you."

John, I've got a 3 year old Shuttle PC and Windows 7 won't recognize its video and network controllers. So your argument doesn't convince.

Whoa there. You're missing the fact that Macs last nearly forever, working as well many years later as the did the day they were new.

Written on a June 2005 PowerBook G4 I don't plan on retiring any time soon.

Broken Promises is great, but are we really on Windoze 7 since PC mentioned Windows 2? Assuming that Windoze 3.1 was 3rd in the line, then
4. Windoze 95
5. Windoze 98
6. Winblows ME
6a. Winblows 2000
7. Winblows XP
8. Windoze Vista
9. Windoze 7

So Isn't Windoze 7 actually the 9th (or 10th) iteration of windows or is it the 7th iteration of winblows 3.1?

These are the best evah!!!!!

Apple is focused on consumers. Few consumers ever ran Win2K.

My glasses fell off I was laughing so hard. I guess it's funny in the way that your old boss fired you and later was sent to jail for favoritism

@ Bartleby,

Where is Windows NT?

broken promises is powerful. wow.

LOLed with the new commercials. "Broken Promises" is by far the best.

They were saving the hardest-knocking ones for the end...

Windows 7 is so named, because Ballmer's numerologist told him that the 1+0+6 in Mac OSX = 7.

Ballmer thought it was a lucky number. So, he added the numerals in WinNT 6 point 1.

"We are a commercial."

HA!!HA!!HA!!

Oct 23, 09 - 12:17 am Comment from: It's About Time

"Trust Me" is the best. Very funny flash backs.

These are funnier then A Flock of Seagulls, Trust me.

@ Bartleby

its all just a rounding error...

A PC with a mullet. That one had me rolling in the aisles!

And qka, you bought yours a month before mine! July 2005 BTO PowerBook G4 -- it's still going strong, and running Tiger just fine. I see no point in upgrading to Leopard at this point -- I'll just wait until next summer when the educational promo comes out, and get a free iPod! Then the ol' G4 will be given to the kiddies as their first computer.

Weather forecast for Redmond:

Continued low flying chairs for the forseable future.

Oct 23, 09 - 01:25 am Comment from: DLMeyer

Good stuff, and it's all clean and straight! Nothing crude, nothing questionable ... pure straight facts. Yeah, chairs will fly. Can you see, now, why politicians HATE a clean campaign? It's a wonderous thing.
Oh, and the computers are sweet, too.

Got to throw my vote in for Broken Promises. Can't get enough of that one! LMAO.

MDN magic word = "history" --- How appropriate.

Fscking great! Love it.

next Nokia!

Ohh man o man! Ssstiiing! Broken Promises is gonna cause a ton o' flamin' from the Windows Fanbois.

@Bartleby

Wasn't #6 really called "Windows BlowMe"?

BTW, for the humourless 'Predrag' and 'Smack!...

I left you a cookie.

FWIW, it's 65% sardonicism mixed with 35% sarcasm. Give or take.

It's fun. Check into it.

Tetter Tottering is the best, followed by PC News. It is such a good add. She really looks like she means it and like she's truly happy (which if she switches to a mac she will be). And Mac looks like he's gonna get some later lol. Windoze is such shit.
