The Apple commercials are more saying "Sup. Dude check this out. Pretty sweet, huh?" When they first started their ad campaign, I was thinking "Wow Mac has ads now?!" followed by "Ooo thats cool." I think that is a better way of getting customers than saying "HEY OVER HERE!"

The Apple commercials I've seen are not informative on the OS either. If Mac and PC Windows were running for political office, the Mac ads could easily be classed as "attack" ads. (The ads in question are the "I'm a Mac"/"I'm a PC" ones.) The Windows ones are much harder to class as attack ads. Maybe distraction ads, but nothing more.

My POV is, I don't care what OS I'm running, as long as it works.
