Ugh. Why do I always, against my better judgment, end up reading the comments whenever I watch a video on YouTube?
Memo to self: YouTube comments will kill your braincells and make you stupid!

I actually think these latest MS ads are some of the best they've ever produced. Finally taking the only shots they can against the Mac, which is choice and price.
Of course I expect a much better ad campaign from Apple to follow suit.

Weird commercials for a company that doesn't even make computers. I realize they make all their money on OEM licenses. Here's an alternate commercial:
This is Jim. He's going to buy a retail copy of an OS for himself and his family. We gave Jim $200. We told him if he can find it, he can keep it.
Jim: I need an OS that's powerful and does what I need, but flexible for my family. I want a basic version for my mom, a business version for me, and a the complete package for my nephew because he's really into games, animation, and everything.
Jim: Walks into an Apple store. I already have a PC, but I want to scope out the competition. $199 for 5 copies of OS X... thats not bad. But it's only one version. I'm a technological genius, I always associate Macs with being pretty and not functional. Probably why it's only the one version.
Jim: Walks into a Fry's. Let's see here. OK, cool. Home Basic for my mom, Business for me, and Ultimate for my nephew. Lots of choices here, this is great. I can customize the OS at different price points based on my needs.
Register: $199.95, $299.95, $319.95 ...
Jim: Uhh...
Register: Total: $819.85
Jim: OK, what the f*ck? You expect me to pay more for the OS than I did for the damn computers?
Clerk: You can get Windows 7 Starter. That's only $45.
Jim: Christ, OK. Fine. What does Windows 7 Starter give me?
Clerk: It's kind of like Home Basic, but you can only run 3 programs at a time.
Jim:

Kind of stupid, and in poor taste to boot.

Their commercial or mine? Or both?
I know mine is stupid, but I was just trying to illustrate a point.
