Apple has launched another volley in its assault on Microsoft and Windows Vista with a new “Get a Mac” TV commercial that has begin airing on U.S television networks this evening.
In Apple’s new “Bakes Sale” ad, Windows PC explains that Microsoft’s marketing guys are spending all the money on advertising Vista instead of actually fixing Vista, so he’s holding a bake sale with rather pricey cupcakes.

Apple is certainly getting Microsoft’s money’s worth. 8^)
“Well, marketing guy has finally decided”
Is “marketing guy” code for Ballmer?
When these ads began I was not too impressed. But, man on man are they really getting to me! (And I guess a lot of other people too.) Now I can’t wait to see the next ones.
Keep it up Apple.
PS. Take the poll about your favorite Get A Mac ad in the upper left corner.
Right between the eyes!
Hope their customers don’t demand that they actually fix it. After all, these people liked Windows 95 and XP.
this one is great for the ‘take a bite’ and ‘now overpay me’ ending.
that’s the real MSFT tax. You think its cheap until you are too far in. Ballmer wants to suck you dry.
Oh man… That’s golden!
Pure gold, on so many levels.
I don’t like this one as much as the “bean counter” one, but it’s still
humorous and pointed. Hodgman and Long have become quite a
team.
They really should have put in a reference to the failed Seinfeld/Gates thing……..
Waaaaiiiiittttt……..did someone say something about baked?
Maaaaaannnnnnnn……….
These commercials aren’t very authentic. They should slap some vaseline on Mac’s face so that it glistens under those studio lights.
I can’t stop laughing at the ending of this commercial.
“$10 million. Now you have to pay me because you had a bite.”
He says it in a way that reflects MS’s desperation (as we see it). I love it!
@Arnold Ziffel – agree with you. This ad was okay but not as clever as the Bean Counter ad. Does Apple still run similar Mac and PC ads outside of the US? I remember seeing a couple of British ads but with different actors. If the ads are being run outside the US, what’s the local view of the ads?
Peace.

“They really should have put in a reference to the failed Seinfeld/Gates thing……..”
You’re kidding right? That was totally a dig at the Seinfeld thing…
$10 million for a bite.
Apple goes for the JUGULAR!
HA HA HA AHAHAHAHAHAH!
