both ads subtly target MS' 'Laptop Hunters' spots... Patrick Warburton is great, and I see the spot's copywriters avoided some sexual innuendo they easily could have engaged in... 'hey baby, I've got a huge display... wanna see it?'

these ads beat the s*** out of that cheesy c*** MS comes up with.

First of all, there aren't "fewer" security attacks on the Mac - there are practically none. There are literally thousands infecting windows, and the chances of a windows machine harboring 3 or more virii are greater than finding a windows machine with NO infections.
Macs account for 10-15% of the user base. This argument is ridiculous. I mean, why would anyone want to bother writing a virus that would only infect 60 million computers.
Idiot "anal-ysts"

of this small user demographic c***. analysts.

analyze that.

... that tonight I get to go over to a clients' PC she says is having issues with a virus popup window - probably malware disguised as a anti-virus program ad and it insists on popping up every 5-10 seconds. I've tried to bring her over from the dark side, but she still insists on running --- get this --- Windows98! Grrrrrrrrrr....

I removed 4 of those last night from customer PCs.... Seems to be all I do at the shop anymore

Why is a provable fact considered negative?

In Nov 2008, the Windows world exceeded 1 MILLION know current pieces of malware. At the time, OS X had zero. Now there are a few attacking OS X, but these are the juvenile trojans, that require stupid acts by a user to initiate.

Um, that's what most of the attacks on Windows are these days. Pop-up windows, virus scare tactics, "You need to install x**." messages, all to try to con the user in installing malware. Most of the problems on your average PC are user initiated, not attacks from the outside.

Most of these are Windows only because that's what most people run. There's no reason to go after that 5% of Mac users with fake "OS X" screens and software.

But how did all that crapware get into the OS in the first place? You don't have pop-up windows in Macs that you can't get rid of. It's easy to get them in PCs.

I don't find the Get A Mac ads funny anymore, and they are getting less and less witty each rendition. I think Apple should just make commercials and focus on what makes a Mac so good. There are a lot of reasons, so lots of ways to be creative.

I do think the Microsoft Laptop Hunter ads are pretty stupid. Hey let's look for a cheap computer, make a cringey face at the Mac, choose some HP or Dell for less money, and be happy. Yaaay you're a happy PC user! I still don't care!
