I'm not sure I see any value in the ads at this point. The ads at this point have been seen by most people. The ads still look the same which to me means people are simply going to tune them out. It going to be like been there done that. The ads need to be different instead of having the same actors spouting the same message.
Actually, you're completely wrong in your analysis. It is exactly the fact that they have, "the same actors spouting the same message," that reinforces the power of the message with each new ad.
It's also interesting that MS apparently doesn't really understand the Apple ads either, as evidenced by their, "I'm a PC" campaign, a fact skewered by Apple in the ad where the woman declares, "I'm a Megan."
Every statement doesn't require a link. If you own apple systems you would have to live in a cave shielded by the rest of the world not to know about the battery problems, heat problem and the firmware issues related to the first gen iMac. Not to mention iPhone and Macbook stress cracks over the years. Macbook air heat issues, do you remember the G4 cube, yeah that was a real winner.
If you are a long time Apple user like I am you would have to be so blindly loyal or have your head halfway up our butt not to know all this already.
But to make you happy here you go.
Firmware issue that too three months to resolve. This was release on Nov 15 and the Macs were release in Aug that year.

MS may not be perfect but osx isnt either. its far from it.
1. snow leopard and its guest account deleting all your data? thats a huge huge huge flaw.
It?s a very bad flaw, but it?s not a huge flaw. Your chances of encountering it are less than winning a lottery. It can?t even be recreated easily. Apple hasn?t even released an emergency patch for it, they are waiting to release it with 10.6.2. That should tell you how likely it is to affect someone.

Go for it. In fact, go ahead spec out this machine that is 300x better for us. Teach us something, will you? I really can?t see how you can build an AIO from stock parts, but maybe you have some made skills.

3. i can play games... enough said there
I can play games, too. Some mac users have Windows for playing games on there Macs, but I think most Mac users are like me, and aren?t focusing on games as a reason to buy a computer. If your focus is playing games then building your own machine is the way to go, if it?s not playing games why are cramping your machine down everyone?s throat as the option possible option? Sounds like sour grapes to me.

That is the farthest from the truth. Apple customers like the ease of use to get CE repaired and replaced with little hassle. It?s a valid reason to go with a company that has better service. I can make my own steak dinner but I do like to go out and get the service of a good restaurant. Why is such a problem for you?

They?ve been getting a bigger marketshare and yet it hasn?t happened. On top of that, Macs take over 90% of computer sales of machines over $1000+. You know, where people who have money and personal information worth stealing tend to fall. Yet still no rampant viruses. Your myth was busted years ago. Now you?re gonna tell us that Mac have no software for them.

6. psystar is doing the right thing by taking apple to court. APPLE IS A BIGGER MONOPOLY THEN MS!!!!! everything has to be theirs or they will cry about it. go psystar, take apple down!!
Did you just say that Apple didn?t have marketshare, but now they are a monopoly? Sounds like someone needs to proofread before hitting submit. You have faied to realize that Psystar can?t win here, even if they win in court. They lose and the consumer loses even more. All Apple has to do is not sell retail upgrades of OS X, make it require an authentication code, have it phone home to verify and/or charge a lot more for the discs if you can?t prove you have bought a Mac.
Also, if Apple were forced to socialize their OS and not be allowed to sell it in a free market, then Psystar couldn?t survive because Apple could easily monopolize on Dell, HP and others who it could work to get driver support, offer licensing and total kill any of the crap machines Psystar puts out. Apple still wins financially, yet MS now loses double digit marketshare in record time, Psystar goes under when they can?t compete with real vendors and Mac customers have to deal with more bullshit.
Have you not wondered why no one else is doing what Psystar is doing yet they?ve begged Apple to help them get out from under MS? thumb?

IMHO everyone should use both if they can afford to because I feel its stupid to be blindly loyal to one product. No one likes attack ads it turns people off in politics and this is no different. At first the ads were funny now they are just childish, not to mention a waste of money.

Apple talks out of both side of their face. As much as they try to say you can make a 100% swtich with no problem, in the next sentence the sales rep is telling someone you can also install Windows via bootcamp. Installing Window is a point of sale for many reps in Apple stores.

Which is a problem because when Apple screws something up you have to wait for Apple to fix the problem. IF Nvidia or ATI puts out a bad driver I can simply revert to another version, you don't have that option with OSX. The best example is when Apple had a firmware conflict with their first gen AL iMacs that causes problems with the GPU. It took Apple three months to fix that problem when people had their system hanging daily.

Opening a retail store is not ripping off Apple. Last time I checked Apple didn't invent retail stores. Clearly with Apple putting out three ads the week Windows 7 is release shows they are nervous about MS. Everyone knows Windows 7 is going to be a massive seller. It already is based on pre sales alone, not to mention the program that allows anyone with an (edu) email address to get Win 7 Pro for 29.99 as an upgrade.
Everyone in the world knows what Windows 7 is, can't say the same about Snow Leopard.
Every Windows has been a big seller. It's Windows. The question is its relationship to the Premium market. Of course everyone knows what Windows is. Obviously! We also know what *else* Windows is. But apparently enough consumers with money to spend know what a Mac is and what OS X is - enough to hand Apple record quarters.
See my sig.
And look at the videos of the MS Store. Poster for poster, table for table, it's as if MS hijacked an Apple Store and put PCs on the tables.

Well, of course you do, but the sales numbers don't agree with you either.
Sure they do. Sales numbers tell me for the exception in iPods, Apple doesn't lead in anything. Apple had a good Q3 but your memory is short they certainly didn't have a good Q1.
All that tells me is how much Apple fans are willing to overlook. I never said you were all that smart.

Wow, I really hope you don't make your living as a financial analyst, for the sake of the clients.

Wow you have a signature. What are you like 13 years old. Your far less informed because you live in a dream world. Here is what can happen to your OSX when someone actually puts just a bit of effort into hacking it. Not that you will actually understand any of this.
Funny how you completely jumped over my other posts with links. Don't want to talk about that>>>>LOL. Like most Apple users you are very selective. Also you cant read you posted Q2 results not Q1. Get a clue.
The US Army has a few employees ... I hear they're switching to Macs ... your point is?
I was responding the the comment that I quoted which pointed out that a lot of people are still on an old version of IE. I was adding to that by saying that my company is just now migrating to a version of IE that was introduced 3 years ago.
I heard about the army moving to Macs, which is great, but I'm not sure what that has to do with my post.
You don't have to lead in sales to be incredibly, ridiculously successful (just own your segment of the market.)
Apparently, sales leads don't have a lot to do with actual success (growth, profit, etc) - witness MS' last two quarters.
Vista outsold OS X by leaps and bounds. But universal licensing, ignorance and inertia will do that. The also-ran box assemblers, HP, Dell, etc., all outsold Apple . . . but it's all about growth and profit - Apple leads the industry in this area, and has been outpacing the industry for years. And of course, being #1 in customer satisfaction year after year after year, feeds into that.
Your trolling is weak. What's even worse is that you're a Windows troll camping an Apple fansite . . . unsuccessfully.
I don't like the whole 'I'm a Mac' campaign and am glad they stopped running them here in the UK. They use negative marketing and make us Mac users look a bad shade of smug. Not to mention they're a tad hypocritical.
...but they do 'just work'. Can't argue with that!

Apple's 1st all-in-one was the Lisa in 1983 (I think), and the 1st Mac in 1984.
- good but not 1st
- but the thing about the Lisa & Mac was the GUI & WIMP concept
- gifted to Steve Jobs by a foolish Xerox
- but Apple certainly were the 1st to develop that concept into a usable system.
Well, of course you do, but the sales numbers don't agree with you either.
Sure they do. Sales numbers tell me for the exception in iPods, Apple doesn't lead in anything. Apple had a good Q3 but your memory is short they certainly didn't have a good Q1.
All that tells me is how much Apple fans are willing to overlook. I never said you were all that smart.

Wow, I really hope you don't make your living as a financial analyst, for the sake of the clients.

Wow you have a signature. What are you like 13 years old. Your far less informed because you live in a dream world. Here is what can happen to your OSX when someone actually puts just a bit of effort into hacking it. Not that you will actually understand any of this.

Funny how you completely jumped over my other posts with links. Don't want to talk about that>>>>LOL. Like most Apple users you are very selective. Also you cant read you posted Q2 results not Q1. Get a clue.
The US Army has a few employees ... I hear they're switching to Macs ... your point is?
I was responding the the comment that I quoted which pointed out that a lot of people are still on an old version of IE. I was adding to that by saying that my company is just now migrating to a version of IE that was introduced 3 years ago.
I heard about the army moving to Macs, which is great, but I'm not sure what that has to do with my post.
Sure they do. Sales numbers tell me for the exception in iPods, Apple doesn't lead in anything.
Except that the entire industry is following Apple.
And Apple owns the Premium market with Macs.
Everyone and their dog is copying the iPhone, the growth of which has been explosive, and continues unabated.
iPods still #1.
You don't have to lead in sales to be incredibly, ridiculously successful (just own your segment of the market.)
Apparently, sales leads don't have a lot to do with actual success (growth, profit, etc) - witness MS' last two quarters.
Vista outsold OS X by leaps and bounds. But universal licensing, ignorance and inertia will do that. The also-ran box assemblers, HP, Dell, etc., all outsold Apple . . . but it's all about growth and profit - Apple leads the industry in this area, and has been outpacing the industry for years. And of course, being #1 in customer satisfaction year after year after year, feeds into that.
Your trolling is weak. What's even worse is that you're a Windows troll camping an Apple fansite . . . unsuccessfully.
...but they do 'just work'. Can't argue with that!
