Apple taking shots at Windows 7
Looks like Apple wasted no time in taking jabs at the newcomer from Redmond, Washington. Windows 7 is barely 24 hours old and three new Get a Mac ads are already, as they say, on the air. The new ads did more than taking hooks and uppercuts at the newly released operating system just as they used to with Vista. In fact, you could almost say the gloves were never there in the first place.
The first ad on queue titled PC News features PC as an anchor for PC Action News crossing live to a reporter on scene surrounded by people eager to make the jump to a new operating system. Suffice to say, things didn’t turn out as well as PC hoped it would.
In the second ad, Teeter Tottering, we see Anne, an XP user, about to make the switch from XP looking for a fresh start, as she carries a box labeled, “Anne’s stuff”, which kept being taken away by PC. She says that she could stick to what she knows, but what she knows is pain and frustration. As with the first ad, this one touts customer satisfaction as the main reason for switching to a Mac.
PC insists that Windows 7 will not have any of the problems that Vista had in the third commercial, Broken Promises. Mac however remembers differently all the way back to Windows 3. Pay attention to the ‘tache and the flip glasses, oh and don’t forget the rolled up jacket sleeves while you’re at it.
You can watch the ads on Apple’s website.
