New 'Get a Mac' ads take a shot at Windows 7 - Microsoft officially unleashed Windows 7 upon the world on Thursday and Apple now has an updated Mac lineup for the holidays—you know what that calls for? Why, new “Get a Mac” commercials, of course. In its usual fashion, Apple released a trio of thirty-second spots yesterday, each one aimed squarely at Windows 7 and all of them ending with a shot of the new iMac.
Two of the spots—“PC News” and “Teeter Tottering”—are about how customers who are planning on switching to Windows 7 might as well just choose to go the Mac route, given that they’re already going to have to buy new hardware and do a clean install to go from XP to Windows 7. I do love how at the end of the “PC News” spot, John Hodgman says, “Whoa, whoa, whoa, cut that feed please! Let’s go to a commercial,” only for Justin Long to point out, “We…we are a commercial.”
