Hello I'm an Advert

I'm catching up on the latest PC vs Mac ads on Youtube.

I think this one has to be my favourite:

"Ask not what Vista can do for you, ask what you can buy for Vista!"

This one about UAC is great too:

However, why should PCs and Macs have all the fun? Linux has joined the club (sponsored by Sun):

Best of all have to be the South Park versions:

They're fun, although the South Park ones are a little weak compared to the others. Need some tightening up in the scripting department...

Fair point. They should hire you.

I think both Maxs and Linux play more games than the South Park ads give them credit for.

[peadarog.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but nor does Windows crash quite as much as the Macs give it credit for :-)

Not that I mind!

However, UAC is every bit as annoying as the Mac ad makes it out to be. Reports suggest it will be less intrusive in Windows 7, but it's still there which suggests to me that Microsoft still haven't cracked the core insecurities of Windows.

If there's one thing we can say about MS, it's that they're sloooooow to adapt, but quick to buy ;)
