Yeah, I have to admit it, even being a HUGE Vista fanboy, the Microsoft commercials have been kind of on the " wtf...why did they make this commercial" side of things. Especially the CONSTANT commercials about windows picture gallery or whatever. Believe me, my HTPC is a media machine and we have hundreds upon hundreds of pictures on it, and while the picture thing built into vista is a nice little "quicky" thingamagig, I still use Photoshop to do "real" editing. I just dont understand how ONE feature, thats not even that great anyways, should be thier selling point. And the "find the best computer for $xxxx" are pretty stupid too, because the average person knows NOTHING about what hardware they SHOULD get, or even which hardware is better compared to others. In reality the hardware is the "same" across macs and pc's now, therefore if OS brand isnt an issue, then just choose the one with the best specs for the lowest price...I dont see how OS comes into the play. Most people are either MAC or PC people anyways and stick to the corresponding sections of the store.

However, the Apple commericals are far worse IMO. I literally turn off the tv or walk out of the room when the guy in the brown suit and they guy wearing clothes from the gap shows up...yet again. Spewing lies about how bad pc's are and not quite ever putting across why macs are better....hmmm, WUT?

I mean most commercials are just downright awfull to begin with, when they arent downright lying, they are distracting you with stuff to where most of the time you dont even know what they were trying to sell. Its quite funny how innefective most commercials really are. Generically I only like the humurous ones and most of the time I couldnt tell you what they are trying to sell.
