Even to a hard-core Windows adherent like me the CMs hit a sore spot now and then...

(Windows: I come with some cool software, too.
Mac: Like...?
Windows: Like a calculator!
Mac: ...
Windows: And a clock!)
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

New bugs will arise to replace fixed old bugs- such is the way of software evolution. Any Windows user can tell you that ; ) Can you make a video about contemporary Mac issues? Maybe release it as a patch to this video?

Oh the days gone by when using the mouse center wheel to scroll would conflict with my video card and IE4 and bring down Windows 95. And the lovely new bug where my WinXP laptop with a fresh windows install and almost nothing running frequently suffers from a blue screen of death (cause still unknown).

The main issue with these ads is that everyone hates the Mac guy. He's a pompous turtleneck wearing arty wanker that everyone wants to punch in the head.

The PC guy is much more charming and funny. It's like Mac are doing a satire of themselves through their exaggerated stereotypical user.
