Well after Jerry Seinfeld was canned from the Microsoft commercials, we see the next “phase” of ads, this time entitled “I’m a PC”. They are OK, but I’m curious as to what’s ahead for these.
A definate improvement over the seinfeld series.
I still would rather see ads just come out tell you what they are selling though 
what a gay ad. IF microsoft think that will make some1 buy windows it definately isnt me BUT seeing as we dont have a choice in what OS we choose then hey of course i will buy windows.
I like the fact that its a jab right back at the I'm a PC/ I'm a Mac ad.
LOL....yeah, but pretty much anything would have been better than the first ad.
The whole thing escapes my understanding and really puts me to 
.
"The Zen of M$"....that was Zen and thi$ i$ now.
oh well.......
Took its time but what a brilliant response. I love it.
I'm a PC and I have a beard.
After the Apple ads, I didn't think we could sink any lower. Kudos to Microsoft for being able to come up with even dumber commercials.
Bandwagons suck people. I respect Microsoft for the message they are sending.
Mac is this whole high and mighty thing while those who use PC are just normal people. Mac is targeted to the "cool" people, which is very condescending.
You guys need to get slapped in the face by reality if you think those ads are crap.
Yup.
What's missing is asking any of those people if they ever owned or tried a MAC. I wonder how many of them even have Vista or aren't complaining about it. Do you think the school teacher in the third world country is running Visat or has a PC capable of running Vista?
Mac has people that never have or would have considered looking at a Mac interested. It's not to be cool but 'Hmmm..What's so cool about it?'
This new ad just has people saying 'I still use a PC'. They need to back it up with some substance. All they are doing is trying to make the people that own PC's feel comfortable about it. They aren't telling them why they should feel good.
"Do you think the school teacher in the third world country is running Visat or has a PC capable of running Vista?"
Do you think they'd even have a computer?
More likely to have some form of PC than such a 'premium' machine as a Mac...;)
One guy says he's a pc, and loves to photograph hamburgers. Haha. That's weird. 
Not if the "Hard Disk" is a frozen hamburger patty, pjdark, 
I agree....less likely to find a Mac in a 3rd world country. That's just obvious.
The elitist Mac thing also bothers me. Proprietary hard/software sux because it's always gonna cost more and really only to line ceo pockets.
No OS has proven it's superiority because they all still exist, and continue to evolve.
Just my impression.
ummm you do have a choice, albiet small but a choice nonetheless
Yeah. we have a choice, but nothing gets skinned like Windows does 
This is great. Apple tries to force you into "their brand". That is the basis of their ads. PC is generic and Apple is a special brand you should be apart of.
This advert does something incredible. It isn't promoting a PC brand in particular. By demonstrating the variety and differences of all these "PC people" it's giving the impression that we are the brand. The individuals, so unique that we don't have to be pigeonholed into a specific archetype that Apple tries to suggest in their ads.
I am a PC and I HAVE A BEARD!
Remember that Mac is just practicing what is known as Clique or Bandwagon advertising. This ad campaign does a good job of countering the Mac advertising implications that people who use PCs are somehow missing something by not being with the "cool crowd."
Fortunately, these new PC ads point out that the rest of the 96% of the world is trailblazing just fine on PCs.
As for me, I didn't go through the trouble of killing SGI just to see it replaced by another closed box, overpriced solution, thank you very much. 
roflmao lets not say...
wtf?? that sucked??
ah dam said it anyways...
then.. lets not laugh about it and NOT say
jumping out of a roflcopter with my lollersk8's
ah dam also said that 
And you sir are a offensive boob.
Its not a "gay ad" because theres nothing wrong with being gay like you seem to imply. Its a BAD ad or a CRAP ad or an ad that plain sucks.
Calling it "gay" is like saying "this ad is paki" or "what a niggerlike ad". Its offensive rude and prejudiced.
Hmm and the forums arent letting me Report his post nor Edit my previous post.
Im gay myself and im astounded that Stardock staff have posted in this thread and said NOTHING about his attitude.
The ads are kinda weird I admit but I reckon they are a dig at the whole "Oh Macs are Cool and PCs SUCK!" ads that Apple was running.
