We'd almost forgot about these...the Latest installment has a young couple looking for a sub $700 laptop. Obviously, there is no Mac anywhere near that. Notice when the baby cries.
Microsoft might want to switch its attention to that pesky Google pretty soon.

"For under $700, we can't get a Mac."
For under $700, you don't want a PC.
we can't get a Mac,,,
The face of the guy is like, ok, I don't have the money... but I'd prefer a Mac!
Agreed
That's what all of these ads are saying - people really want a Mac, but don't have enough money. That basically means people with enough money that see these ads will go look at a Mac.
In effect MS is advertising for Apple.

The problem is that there's 'nothing to talk about a 700$ full-sized notebook', not even about "everything being a problem"...
it's not a problem
pick up a MacBook refurb @ Apple.com - they have been as low as $700
Dude...
Yeah, because that sounds like a great idea, someone else's sloppy seconds, I'll take my chances and spend my 700$ thanks...
The ability to share
The ability to share photos!?
A phone can do that. A netbook running Ubuntu can do that. A freaking Wii can do that. How is that something that someone would consider that they need to specify when buying a computer, like it might not be able to do? I get that this ad is supposed to appeal to the technologically retarded who will see the ad on TV and say "NO WAY! YOU CAN SHARE PICTURES ON *COMPUTERS* NOW!?", but these people don't know what an operating system is so why are they even targeting them with an advertisement for their operating system? I guess if they did teach them what an operating system was then they'd realise that they actually have choices and might make a *decision* to go with one other than Windows which is the last thing MS wants. So if consumers don't even know what an OS is, they'll just get what comes with whatever shitty computer they get & MS knows this and won't TEACH people what an OS is so all they're doing is advertising PCs – not really Windows.
*mutter mutter* ... the ability to share photos... *mutter mutter*
Ditto
Who'd listen to people who spend $700 when a $200 netbook would do what they want?
They ain't so smart they own damn selves.
Gawd Crispins ads are just
Gawd Crispins ads are just atrocious...I mean not because they are advertising Windows, but because they just make terrible ads. Seriously, with all this money Microsoft has, they can't hire a better agency? Seriously, Microsoft just can't get anything right, they are so out of touch with everything.
How stupid
HAhahaha, they're gonna use "Photo Gallery" for photos!
How stupid. It just keeps getting worse. We'll see if they won't regret not getting that Mac after they start getting malware, crashes, freezing, registry problems and all the usual Windows crap.
I think they misunderstood

This chick has gone black, and will never go back!
I love the brown box. Now
I love the brown box. Now that's some sexy packaging design. Mmm... eco.
They're happy now, but...
An hour after they start using it they won't be smiling.
If someone bought me a PC laptop I'd be happy too, as soon as I put Linux Mint on it. I'd be even happier with a Macbook and OS X.
His Face
I agree his face does imply he'd rather have a Mac.
this laptop looks like shit
Have you seen the keybord? Old blank metal, i'm pretty sure they will hate to write on it.
Buying a computer on looks?
They both kept saying things like "this one looks good". Don't judge a book by it's cover.
But most people DO judge a
But most people DO judge a book by its cover. Clearly they knew next to nothing about what they wanted and got the cheapest big screen they could find.
That's how people choose
That's how people choose which Mac they want, by the looks.
Not true at all!
That is not true at all. Macbooks all look very similar and very sexy!. It's all about the screen size, cpu speed, graphics capability, and memory. Not on how the computer looks.
