This must be some sort of sad marketing scheme from Windows, how embarassing.
Go watch a few and post what you think ?

Re: What the hell are Windows thinking?
They are showing "average", stereotypically low intelligence people.
Why?
Because Mac's got much of their foothold in the computer business by being easy to operate. When Windows shows people "just like me, a computer illiterate" using Windows, they are trying to convey that Mac no longer holds this position.
I hate advertising.

its to show the versatility of windows by showing people using it for many different purposes although that really isn't the advertising scheme they should be going for right now

I don't see why Microsoft even cares, they already make enough money and even own a chunk of Apple, still making money either way. I think they are only making this "advertising scheme" to keep up appearances.
I don't see Windows falling behind in the charts anytime soon.
"I'm a PC and I run OSX"
Theres a flaw in their advertising scheme, on both sides too.

No worse than those gay ass Mac commercials. Specially when the guy for Mac looks like a stoner that sucks dick all the time

I just wanted to say that Windows is a product and nothing else. Microsoft is the company.

Re: What the hell are Windows thinking?
They're brilliant.
Don't you see? They've been discussed on this forum only, about 5-6 times now. Try the rest of the world.
Creators of the commercials on both sides, (and i wouldn't be suprised if they're made by the same company) Know the commercials are annoying. They know too much exposure will piss people off, and that, is the desired effect. It's what makes people remember them, it's what makes people form an opinion as to which they like most.
Company's don't just spend millions on a commercial, to annoy people, they know what they're doing.

All they are doing is appealing to every single person possible to say that they use a PC instead of a MAC thats all.

+1, the fact that you're discussin it right now makes it a good commercial.

At least that's better than the commercial on that website with the fashion model/snowboarder that babbles on and on about her modeling and her designer clothing brand and her snowboarding hobby.
