I think at one point in this commercial, the Mac guy says "What the f**k?" under his breath.
Yeah, I heard it too. Or maybe those were just the voices in my head.

He does say it, but it gets cut off after "what the fuh", you can hear the f. Funny commercial.

I can see the T-shirts, baseball caps and mugs now. CafePress will love this one - as will Apple.

Buying outside of the US?!
It has already been established that the most expensive place to buy an ipod is Brazil... ~$320 for a nano 2gb nano, 2nd gen.
But, Taxes and Nationalization Fees make it impossible to buy anything in other countries. Sales Tax = 16.5 % where I used to live.
Price of a standard Macbook Pro C2D 15.4"
2.33 Ghz
2GB RAM
120 HDD
US Store price: $ 2,499 + tax = ~ $2,700
VZLA Apple Store (official store/reseller): $ 4,180 + tax + fees = ~ $ 5,230
Poor third world countries... they still use Win 98.
I live in the US now and I love my MacBook Pro
(bought it here!)
Only 10%??
In Ontario, Canada, it's 14%...

that's also what I was thinking...
Even if I like those ads, usually you bash on your competitors when you got nothing good the say about yourself, which is clearly not the case here...
Apple don't deserve any respect for that type of ad, imo.
Why don't make a tv advertising with AlGore? Like - get a mac plus a lot of toxic chemicals!

That's one thing that impresses me a whole lot about Apple and OSX...the fact that you can run OSX on beige G3s which are...how old now? 6 years? (older?) And that OSX running on a beige G3 will not be without the same features of OSX running on a Mac Pro.
Try running Vista (with Aero, I'm not talking about the blah Vista Basic that does not feature Aero) on anything 6+ years old and see how far you get.
...not too far.
That's something Vista will never have.
The same OS (in every facet) on hardware 6 years apart.
Get-A-Mac Security Ad
By far the greatest ad Apple has come out with yet in response to Windows Vista!

You forgot to mention:
"Your copy of Windows could not be activated. Please call this number and be prepared to be questioned like a criminal by someone who speaks a barely understandable interpretation of the English language. Thank you for installing Microsoft Windows Vista."
Oh easily.
I'd say it's the most hard-hitting and certainly the most applicable.
Remember that these ads aren't geared towards savvy users like us, they're made for people who would have a hard time understanding the 'subtle' differences between the OS's
I never thought these ads were very good--usually half-truth-filled or playing off common misconceptions. This one is the first to really shed light on the 'user experience' aspect in the form of real issues.
not so funny...
it's only funny till someone looses an....well, uh whatever M$ doesn't like!
read this first:
http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/1640/159/
then tell all your friends who insist on upgrading to vista (if there are any).
now it makes sense why vista is 3x more expensive and you need faster hardware: the money is M$ passing the cost of licensing "premium" content to the end user and the faster hardware is so you (hopefully) won't notice the DRM checkin' yer stuff 30 TIMES A SECOND!!
Microsoft, you spineless goobers. you truly suck.

The problem is that a lot of anti-Vista attitudes have been because people say that features have been stolen from OSX. The fact is that if I am an average PC user and I like gadgets and search, I'm not going to care if they were in OSX first...at least now apple are targeting Vista's problems which even the low-end user will be irritated by...
What gives?
I can't hear that. Around what point does that happen? At one point he quite audibly says, "What... gives?" Is that what you mean?

It's right after Security Guy says: "Mac is asking a question - cancel or allow?"
Right at 11 sec, you can see Justin raise his palms upward and mutter:
"What the F"
