About time Microsoft puts out some clever ads that speak back. Sadly, I haven't see any of these commercials on network TV> I love it. About time Microsoft puts out some clever ads that speak back.

I am a Mac user but I do not like the Mac ads. Kinda arrogant and subtly offensive. I was expecting Microsoft to blow out the Mac ads knowing that they allocated $300 million for this campaign. Microsoft really just dont know how to be creative...or even just provide creative direction for their ad agency. sad. I hope their next ads will be better. Microsoft ads sucks.

About this new ad, they should have gotten real PC users instead of paying some celebs and asking their own employees to promote their own product. Pharrel Williams is part of the ad but in a previous, unpaid interview by BGR... he admits being a Mac user.

His name is Sean Siler, a look-alike, who's working on IPV6 as Program Manager in Microsoft. Nope, it’s not John Hodgman (the PC guy in the Apple commercials).
