I'm actually kinda glad- we won't be seeing any Apple commercials where the guy in the suit gets caught up in a lithium fire...

PC guy: Hi, I'm a PC
Mac guy: and, I'm a Mac. I like to be as helpful as possible, my Dashboard can give lots of useful information, from a Krispy Kreme store locater to stock tickers, the nearest coffee shop to the cafeteria's food schedule.
PC guy: I can be very helpful too.
Mac guy: Really, thats cool. What do you do?
PC guy: I can light cigars.
Mac guy: And, how do you do that?
PC guy: I like to heat up and catch on fire
Mac guy: Thats pretty neat, but, uhh, isn't that a bit dangerous....
PC guy: Not really, here I'll imitate a fireworks show.
[PC guy catches on fire and explodes]

Now that wouldn't make anyone buy Mac, but it would be entertaining to watch the big explosion...
