OMG...ive got it.. I'm a McPC! lol

The greatest part of this whole campaign is now, whenever anyone sees one of those "hi I'm a mac, and I'm a PC" mac commercials, the viewer will tend to remember these MS commercials and recognize how one-sided and unidimensional they portray the PC character. I think this was a tremendously smart way or making those Mac ads (while I have to admit were pretty entertaining, but very skewed) obsolete. They took the wind out of those Mac ads with these in a very big way, which I'm very glad for...I wsa getting tired of them...

yea i think everyone was. Mac seems to be growing on the PC base, and losing on the mp3 player base. If only we could eat them up and chuck away the core, like apple suggests

Shinigami. · 09-22-2008, 10:10 AM

Wow Ace I never thought about it that way, but ow I do

Charge · 09-22-2008, 10:48 AM

if they were on tv more it would definately help i think

Shinigami. · 09-22-2008, 11:53 AM

they are.

That how I found out about them

Charge · 09-22-2008, 12:15 PM

o ok.
Sucks they arent here though

Shinigami. · 09-22-2008, 04:16 PM

ohh yeah, forgot your UK.
my bad.
Maybe they will.

Charge · 09-22-2008, 04:41 PM

well its been said round here there might be a euro release, but i doubt for anytime soon, seeing how long it took them just to get to canada...

Lvivske · 09-22-2008, 08:02 PM

right direction but I think they should focus on the professionals using it

I like how they used Pharrael (sp) and the astronaut, but more emphasis on musicians using PCs (whereas theres this myth that you can only produce music on a mac), video editors, writers, etc.

Charge · 09-23-2008, 03:58 AM

remember this is for PC, not for the zune, so music doesnt really come into part. And also there not boasting, their letting people understand that M$ is good and is world leader on purpose

Shinigami. · 09-23-2008, 09:34 AM

And they were doing it for professionals, every person on that video had a job and used PC's.

Charge · 09-23-2008, 10:23 AM

rightly so. why do graphic designers use Mac when the same programs are available on pc and propabaly have more compatability

Shinigami. · 09-23-2008, 10:51 AM

Not necessarily, both have equal programs but the Mac UI makes doing some of that graphic design easier.
