I thought the commercial did what it set out to do – talk about nothing, just like Seinfeld the sitcom. I think the MAC vs PC commercials are hilarious but I still wouldn’t buy a MAC.

Perhaps this just goes to show that not all commercials work on everyone.

And why does everyone keep writing what their reCAPTCHA is? Stop it! =P

Sienfeld had a Mac in his appartment on his show. I think it changed to the 20th anniversary Mac when it came out. Sounds like a Mac fan to me.

I’m glad to see Bill Gates using himself to schill Windows but couldn’t they have found someone genuinely funny to be “comic relief”? Even Bill’s joke where he shows his Shoe Circus Platinum Saver card is 100 times funnier than Seinfeld’s cake joke. Maybe MS could graduate to Chris Rock or Dane Cook or Daniel Tosh. Someone younger crowds can immediately recognize as more their speed.

Anyone (like me) who has had Vista crammed in the face, and suffered the horrible consequences resulting therefrom would have to agree with me that if this is a tease, it only convinces me that they have nothing to offer but cheap garbage. MY NEXT COMPUTER WILL BE A MAC.

I’ve always wondered why people hate Macs so much. I have both an iBook G4 and a Compaq, both are laptops, and I love them both.

If would could just get a Lady Mac and a Man PC together, we would have a beautiful machine.

giles, I think you are on to something. The ad should have been Larry David running into Gates.

There is too much smugness and blissful naivete in the ad. Larry would fix that right away.
