Interesting how shortly after I read your post, I saw this one from Valleywag saying that the ads have been cancelled...

I am not in marketing so I have no idea. But something tells me that any good Marketing agency has a bunch of working ideas.

Most of the people around me thought the commercials were pretty funny. Maybe they're too American.

The commercials were ok. Choosing a has-been comedian and making jokes that 90% of people dont get probably wasnt the best idea though.

I would like to see an almost parody of the mac vs pc stuff. Not a direct parody, not a rip off, but something just to nudge back at Apple.

I know MS wants to be "hands off" on direct attacks to Apple and I totally respect that, but lets not forget who is eating into whos market share in the desktop world right now.
