This one's for Skuzzy! Peace Out, Dude!

For any of you that have not seen this episode in the ongoing Mac commercials, it relates to recent Vista threads in the forums.

Enjoy.

Not sure if I'd ever run a Mac server or not (especially with many Linux flavors out there), but the more I see what's coming from MS in the future, the more I like MACs for a workstation alternative.

Most of their ads are misleading but this one I like.

Thing is. With Mac doing all this knocking of Vista. and probably rightly so.
(when it comes to VISTA)

What about Macs running Windows?
wont that leave them open to the same nonsense?

They don't need to run Windows, Macs are just as vulnerable at PCs. We have some Macs here at work with OSX that have been corrupted by viruses specifically programmed for OSX.

What john said. I think these adds are geared towards keeping Mac market share more than trying to woo PC buyers. As a PC own the adds just seem retarded to me.

Oh really? That would be a world-class news story.

Standby for a media invasion, ack-ack. Where do you work?

Cute ad

Maybe its just me, based on the previous ads...Id chose the Windows guy over the snippy "Im too cool" Mac portrayer.

But....just me.
