The more entertaining aspect of their new ad campaign is watching the reactions of all the anti-MS geeks think of ways to rip on it, no matter how good it actually was.

At least the Mac vs PC ads outright illustrate the positive differences in the experience of using a Mac versus operating a Windows based PC. In fact, this really DOES feel like a classic Windows ad in the sense that it did nothing for me and I doubt it'll do anything for most people.
