New Microsoft Ads: I’m a PC

Tags: | | | | |

After those utterly senseless Seinfeld ads, Microsoft finally fires back at the Mac switch ads with ads that actually make sense. The new series of commercials features people from various walks of life proudly declaring that they, too, are PCs. Celebrity cameos include Eva Longoria, Tony Parker, Pharell Williams, and Bill Gates himself.

Microsoft’s ad guys finally get a clue here: it’s not about founders or celebrities, it’s all about the customers. I’m a PC. My blog is a PC, too — a Linux blade PC. Who’s the stereotype now, Mac fanboys?
