Windows 7 is out and guess what Apple is also out with a new advertisement poking fun at Windows 7. They have released a series of ads making fun of Windows 7.
This particular ad is called “Broken Promises” which has a man called PC who resembles Bill Gates slightly and another man called Mac who are talking about Windows 7 and how it wont have any problems that previous Windows versions had.
I personally think such advertisements can be considered petty and it is not always a good strategy to make fun of your rivals. Every one knows Mac is better than most machines that run Windows but then Mac is also more expensive than 90% of the Machines that run Windows.
Early reports and reviews on Windows 7 give the impression that it is the best thing to come out of Microsoft but there is still one problem consumers will have. The migration from Windows XP to Windows 7 is being called very complicated and a test of patience and it seems that is what Apple will look to highlight.
I wonder what sort of advertisements would go out when Google launches its Chrome OS. 🙂

But, I like windows seven.
Great…. I have seen all the other ads… Its Very Funny…..
I think they have nothing to say against it “uptill now”,remember New Imac got flash performance Issue ,Macs now got Viruses ,i’m not any OS fan but i hate poking someone with same things he can poke at u
i’ve not came across this AD on TV in the Uk but it’s great at getting back and them and in some cases promoting both brands, doesn;t Bill Gates own a load of Apple shares?
Why would Apple do that? It’s really cheap to air such ads on TV especially when it comes between to giant companies. Apple has its own identity and it’s better not spoil it.
Yes even I felt it was in poor taste but Apple has aired such ads for quite some time and I guess they are very popular.
