A clever new Apple dual-banner campaign, “Give Up On Vista,” was spotted by MacDailyNews readers today on CNET (<— click and you might see it, too) and perhaps other Websites as well:

“I weep for the poor chairs.”
…and that switch.
you have to see it on the cnet page to get the full effect – really nice.
Hilarious. Very creative.
There has bound to be a better vid of this ad somewhere. Ampar, explain the star, is it you or what? What does the star mean?
LOL! Beautiful!
Great Ad! I love Apple.
BTW, why does this site always seem to be hanging over the edge of collapse lately?
The deadpan delivery is a cracker.
@Thorin…
the star is just MDN’s way of saying that you are a registered user and logged in.
Thanks for the post!
I block ads, so I would never have seen it!

The star means you have registered your name.
Talk about innovative advertising. Apples’ Marketing team really knows how to get the job done. Wow!
I can’t remember when was the last time I laughed in my office! This is just side-splitting hilarious!
And of all places, C-NET!! Microsoft must be sending a protest note just about now!
Obviously, this kind of ‘cheap shot’ advertising would never see broadcast TV. For the web, though, it is excellent and it sure will rile up a lot of people (especially on C-NET; perhaps ZD-Net as well)
Apple computers are the best pc to run Vista.
However, even PC guy now knows he will need to buy a Mac.
Lets see what december brings for PC guy.

“The star means you have registered your name.”
Oh, OK. Hey I can admit being an idiot. I thought all unregistered names were “anonymous”. Got it.
Perfect! Best part is the ad could pass as a Gates keynote.
At least the banner didn’t BSOD.

That’s worth shutting off your ad blockers!
simply…… brilliant!
