What do you think about these, sell out or quite funny?

Shitty propaganda telling only one side of the story.
Can't stand these things. My boss, a macboy, downloads watches these as soon as they're released.

Made me giggle... if Mac's had the same support from the Game Manufacturers that Micro$oft does I think it would be a different story.

I think he meant the actors, but you are correct. It's a good job everyone here has macs, otherwise we'd never to be able to do any fun stuff, like play a big load of games.

What I wish they wrote:Hi, I'm a mac. I do fun things like music, video and podcasts.
Hi, I'm a PC. I do those fun things too, you insufferable prick.

Yes I did mean the actors and yes they would be one-sided, they are Apple ads. I imagine MS ads would be the same.

Also I think they are limiting the argument to the OS bundle rather than any additional software. MS always seem to be playing catch-up with Apple in the case of included "life style" software. They both have it just Apple tend to be the pioneers.

I'm trying hard not to go into Apple defence mode here.

i cant even see the switch adverts. And, i dont really care.
Why bother listen to such one-sided bullshit that really does not explain anything.

I did see one a while back. apple was having a dig at PCs having to be upgraded for Fista.
At no point did they mention that it is well nigh impossible to upgrade a mac and that it would probably be thrown out whenever the next gen mac os11 or whatever is launched.

The only reason I posted is because it's Mitchell and Webb and a couple I found quite amusing, as it's them.

Peep Show was brilliant. But the Mitchell and Webb show was not. Except possibly numberwang. But even that is overrated, and kinda lucky that it was popular.
They began going down in my estimation even before selling out to a company i dislike

I agree that it's rather one sided. I mean, for the most part, both systems can do either thing. "I can download my family photos and put them online!" no shit? I just hate it when they paint the picture that the Macs do all the "cool" stuff while PCs have only lame things.

Truth

I am a massive Apple fan, but the switch ads and the iPhone made me loose some respect for Apple.
