Why not air it on TV? Because Apple probably feels that it’s a bit too strong and more than a little too much for Windows sufferers to take right now.
In the ad, PC, played by John Hodgman, is upset about Microsoft’s Windows Vista (“That didn’t work very well…”) and to make his “terrible year” complete, Apple’s performance in 2007: iMac, Mac OS X Leopard, new iPods, iPhone, etc.
For 2008, however, PC plans on having a banner year, “2008 is going to be the year of the PC!”
Mac, played by Justin Long, tells PC, “That’s a great attitude, PC. Whatddya got planned?” PC’s plan for 2008, of course, is to execute page one out of Microsoft’s one-page playbook: copy everything Apple did in 2007!

“Now what do I do with my recently bought 500 GB USB 2 Free Agent Pro?”
Give it to me?
I really like the fact the Time Capsule doesn’t look like an external hard drive. That makes it less likely to be stolen. I have my current base station attached to the ceiling in my kitchen and replacing it with a Time Capsule should make my backed up data less likely to be stolen by a burgler looking for a laptop or desktop.

“I have my current base station attached to the ceiling in my kitchen . . .”
