Apple has posted two new Get A Mac Ads. Bean Counter and V Word.

In Bean Counter, PC is doing a little budgeting and investing his money in marketing and fixing Vista. The advertising pile keeps getting larger and larger until PC finally decides to give up on fixing Vista and put all his money into advertising.

In V Word, PC has decided to stop referring to its operating system by name. Instead PC presses a buzzer to bleep out the word Vista anytime its said.

Isn't it kind of hipocrtitcal of apple that they are critisizing Microsoft for spending so much money on advertizing, when they are actively putting money into advertizing themselves while making this?

These are probably the strongest I'm A Mac ads I've seen. They really demonstrate what Microsoft is doing with their new campaign ads, and you cannot disagree, they aren't fixing Vis--BEEP.

Is it just me or does it seem like Microsoft and Windows are running for president? These ads are obviously a direct response to Microsoft's "I'm a PC" ad. Apple slams Microsoft for investing so much in their ad and not mentioning Vista which they believe to be a failing product. Honestly though I've never been a big fan of the "I'm a mac" ads, but then again, I'm not the target audience
