I hope Mac sticks around because they push back against the P.C. world and that means better products as you noted. Still, I’m a p.c. guy. They’re cheaper, easier to fix, and run just as well.

Microsoft makes software, not PC's. I.e. Microsoft Windows vs. MAC OS, Netscape, etc.

And, Microsoft makes sofware for Mac as well.

Apple competes with the PC makers, i.e. HP, Sony, etc.

I tell you what, my Sony Vaio is a poor representation of the PC. My Dell desktop is a bit better, but still full of errors, freezing, security gaps and constant vulnerabilities, which Apple seems to have been dealing with better. My only concern is to find out how my G5 (still in my dreams) will fit into my PC network in my office. If not, I will have to get another PC to replace the junk, i mean sorry, the Vaio.

I have seen these ads myself and yes they do depict the founders of the PC and the Mac. I guess they are trying to say the Mac is the exciting way forward and the PC is a boring thing of the past. Anyway, at least the ads are better than the ones Quiznos had!

I love my mac but this battle is long over. I only wish to use and enjoy my mac in peace. There was a time when it looked like Apple would go under but it’s not. So I have no PC angst anymore.

I think it’s a pointless comparison, really. It’s like comparing a Ford F250 to a Honda Insight… They each have their uses and their strong points, but they aren’t really made to do the same job, are they? Most Mac users I know use them for their power in the graphic design field, for example. Aside from that, it’s really about personal preference, right? I, too, am a PC guy but that doesn’t mean I think the Mac is a piece of junk… I don’t think Mas should be implying that about PCs either.

Ahh…Mac, I yearn for thee. Kinda like Clay, didn’t really know what I was gettin and didn’t know that Mac would be more friendly to my interests.

I remember trying out an imac in the mid 90’s and falling in love with the ease of operation and cool features but every friend I had told me not to buy it because hardly any software would work on it. At the time I didnt know software from hardware and ended up buying a Dell pc but after all of the windows changes I’ve been thru……I wish I would have went with the Mac.

I just blogged about this not long ago myself, and I agree - the characters are obvious pastiches of Bill Gates and Steve Jobs.
