There's no reason Apple couldn't/shouldn't have done something like this with OS X. But any time I've mentioned the prospect of there being SOME sort of OS X commercial, everyone goes "yeah, how boring would that be?" or "pscates, how would you do a commercial like that? It's boring and you can't show the OS in 30 seconds and...".
You're thinking too literally, people.
This is a nice commercial that just puts a good spin on it all, has a nice "look" to it and does it the other way (DOESN'T beat you over the head with numbers, specs, etc....which I've never called for anyway).
You should learn to recognize when you're in the presence of greatness and that most stuff spilling out of my mouth is dead-on and should be heeded...for the betterment of Apple and all involved.
Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that IBM has come a very long way since the infamous 1984 ad? 'Cuz you know in 1984 Big Brother was IBM, not Microsoft. I couldn't help but revel in a minute long smile after seeing that ad, thinking to myself that these are, indeed, interesting times we live in.
Very nice. It tells so much with so little. Very reminiscent to Apple's 1984 ad in many ways. Only this time the target is M$ and not IBM. Heh, what goes around comes around. Who would have thought back in 1984 that the then monopolist IBM would be allying with Apple in an effort to strengthen STANDARDS. Sweet.
I think Apple should return to the "Think Different" theme, the whole idea and manifesto was pretty powerful. "Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do. Think different." from the "Think Different" manifesto will be my senior quote for my yearbook in 2005.

LMAO!
But I still think a neat OS X commercial is possible and should be made.
Was it really a slam? Eek...
Apple needs exactly such a campaign for OS X. Perhaps Panther is what they are waiting for.

I disagree. "Think Different" has negative annotations now. M$ is the one who is different. The current vision is "Think Standards."
