Apple Rolls Out "Misprint" Get a Mac Ad
Apple Rolls Out "Misprint" Get a Mac Ad
by , 10:00 AM EST, December 4th, 2007
Apple added a new Get a Mac commercial to its Web site on Tuesday. Like other recent commercials featuring John Hodgman and PC and Justin Long as Mac, Misprint takes a hard jab at Windows Vista -- this time pointing out that PC World says the Mac can run Windows faster than PCs. The commercial is available in QuickTime format in several resolutions including HD.

Observer Comments
These adds are getting stupid. All they do is poke fun at Windows. Big deal. How about telling people what a Mac can do for them for a change? All these adds do is paint Macs as a computer for smart a** users.
PS: I have a Mac... but these commercials alone would never have made me a switcher.
The article by PC World said that the MacBook Pro ($2400+ variant) was the fastest laptop they had tested running Windows Vista. That said, Apple's single largest growing market share is the laptop market, which is the only product segment I'd even think of buying a prefab computer out of, it's just not pratical to build your own laptop.
Anyone who just wants a desktop should build their own. It's cheaper, faster, better.
