Mac Vs. PC

J.J. Jackson* | February 2, 2007

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — For nearly a year, television and Internet audiences have been seeing a familiar string of ads from Apple attacking rival Windows-based computers. With this week’s release of Windows Vista, the newest jabs aren’t any friendlier.

In one ad, the character personifying the PC is dressed in hospital patient garb, talking about how he’s set to undergo major surgery to upgrade to Vista. He then saunters off, telling the Mac character that if he doesn’t come back, Mac can have his peripherals.

In another ad, a man pretending to be the Mac character heaps praises for the PC _ until the real Mac character steps in, confounded, asking “What’s going on?” The fake Mac replies, “Nothing,” and then mutters “I’m a fan” as he walks away.

On its own Web site, Apple Inc. tells visitors to get a Mac, stating, “Why upgrade to Vista when you can upgrade past it?”

My comments are the same as always. Macs are great for people who don’t know how to use a PC. Further, that most people should have Macs because over 90% of the people that own a PC don’t know how to use it.

Just my opinion.
