Honestly I never saw that coming. Looking hilarious! Microsoft always amaze me with their marketing, unlike it’s alleged competitor Apple, their ideas are out of the box. Apple always had that I’m a Mac, I’m a PC thing, PC sucks!! At the beginning it was funny, after a while it’s just meh! whatever, same shit different story

Simpsons and Family Guy are my favorite pass time shows. However, I’m glad they chose Family Guy for this, beside Homer and Peter do share the same IQ

I really admire that Microsoft did not attack their competitors as they did. They focused more on their image and pitched for a vision. Commercials were sometimes:

Really Bad!

Serious

Ambitious

Funny

TV Banned

While Microsoft was focusing on creating a vision of the future, Apple was still busy trying to make PC look useless, hard to use, and less secure. Apple was trying as hard as they can to create this Mac user stereotype where Mac users are really the cool people at high school! Microsoft marketing was a bit smarter! Not everyone is a high school prince charming or prom queen! Most of us are humans, as would I’m a PC state: After all, even the richest people on earth are humans.

As a continuation to the I’m a PC wave, Gates & Seinfeld ads started to make it to the surface. The idea is amazing! I loved it

Below is my favorite. I wish they make more of these ads. I guess Seinfeld’s price was just a bit expensive for another commercial.

Windows 7’s budget is much less than Vista’s $400 million, but still it came out smarter! Thumbs up for the Microsoft marketing team.
