I thought it was the Beatles too.

So, it's the Rolling Stones, huh? Same people who did Start Me Up, which Microsoft used (with great success) for their Windows 95 fraud... I mean ad campaign?

If so, then this was a rather pathetic response. What Apple should have done was a commercial with a bunch of Windows users, highlighting machine crashes, difficulty with upgrades or configuration and the like, and then point to Macs as the alternative. All to the tune of I Can't Get No Satisfaction.

Actually, that would be even more appropriate now, what with OSX on the market and all. XP may be an improvement over previous versions (though even that's debatable when you consider Win2K) but it's still not there.

I think the song is actually called "She Comes in Colors", but it is the Rolling Stones.

You know you're getting old when everyone around you doesn't recognize the voice of Mick Jagger. You know you're getting old when people think the Rolling Stones sound like the Beatles.

I was going to point out that this is a Lounge question, but since a mod has already posted in the thread...
