CAM: I like Macs, but I'm still a bigger PC fan. I enjoy the advertising from both Microsoft and Apple. Microsoft's commercials are much more intelligent, but Apple's are much more creative. Quite reflective of the Operating Systems themselves. Apple's claims can be misleading (Macs crash too... trust me, I fix them on a daily basis), but it's how they talk about usability that ultimately earns them more points. Watching one of the most recent ads, I decided to write my own that I think truly hits both companies' weaknesses.
MAC: Hello, I'm a Mac.
PC: And I'm a PC.
MEGAN: And I'm a Megan.
PC: I brought a whole range of PCs for Megan to pick from. What do you need Megan?
MEGAN: I need a computer that can be supported by English speaking over-the-phone support technicians that I can actually understand.
FIVE PCS: *walk away*
PC: Okay, and what else do you need?
MEGAN: Well, I need a computer that works well with my creative and artistic lifestyle.
TWO PCS: *walk away*
PC: And next?
MEGAN: Last, I need a computer that doesn't come bloated with tons of useless manufacturer software.
THE REST OF THE PCS: *walk away*
PC: Well, she's all yours Mac. *walks away*
MAC: Great, I'm glad we cleared that all up. Now, Megan, tell me what you need.
MEGAN: I need a computer that costs under $600.
MAC: *walks away*
