I would recommend you to make a change

What I've found interesting about Windows, is the account on YouTube with the "7 Seconds..." videos, which advertise specific features in 7 seconds. They're kinda funny, and show Microsoft/Windows have a funny side, unlike grumpy ol' Apple who are like the *5 letter B word*y queens of the computing world.

Windows adverts aren't amazing, and are a bit crap (some of the features and messages are a bit tongue in cheek), but at least they show some sort of honesty in the computer world, and aren't one successful PC man and one hippy Mac man arguing. Those ads are so lame they make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end!

The new Windows 7 adverts are clever though. "Windows 7 was my idea", because it plays on the idea that Windows actually listen to their customers and have made the main things people want a reality - faster, reliable, customizable, affordable, safe, easy and fresh (you can tell my list was getting a bit boring by the end, but oh well). Although these individuals didn't actually come up with these ideas, they reflect on the changes made to the OS which makes the advertisements more reliable - and the fact Windows 7 adverts aren't banned in the UK unlike the Apple ones is proof of that :P

Grumpy old Apple? What is grumpy about their advertisements? You don't like them because you disagree with what's being said (which is understandable as you use a PC). But they certainly show humour. If they were so horrible why are they still producing and airing them?

Microsoft doesn't even need to advertise. Most users are buying PCs because theyre a heck of a lot cheaper than Macs. What is Microsoft afraid of? People going out and buying a PC with Linux?!

All they do is moan about PCs, like grumpy... no not even grumpy, (sorry homosexuals for painting a false image :P) BUT moody "queens". What's there to agree with? No-one can agree with those adverts as they lack any sort of judgement or back-bone :/ They give no opinion, facts, rumours or subject, they just blindly mock with no claims or substance behind their own product. Apple disagree with Windows, yet offer NO informance to back up these claims, because they simply DO NOT exist. These adverts test human intelligence - if anyone believes and agrees with these adverts, then they clearly lack human intelligence and should probably not be near shops, TVs, radios, the internet, computers and so forth because they are clearly mentally challenged. As I said on another forum (a bit X rated compared to this though :P)

"...That girl in the Apple advert seems like the sort of girl who wets herself when standing up - jumps in the puddles - and sticks her fingers in plug sockets because she clearly has no rational mind or sense of judgement..."

For these adverts are not advertising anything :/ When you watch a Mac advert, it's like watching a badly written "comedy" (using that word lightly :P) sketch, offering no insight into the Apple products Apple are failing to sell.

Think of it like Ford advertising their cars, but instead of SHOWING their cars, they are simply indirectly advertising BMWs by saying "they suck" using generalised "fan boy" comments which lack any sort of foundation to base their arguments, and clearly there to look stupid.

They seem to be focusing their adverts on showing old and new Windows users what their Operating System has to offer. They don't appear affraid at all, just informing people. A huge contrast to Apple adverts though, which don't advertise Macs OR OS/X, but only exist to mock in a feared jealousy plot to make Windows look bad, but on the contrary (as forementioned, PC appears rich with a loving family AND friends while Mac is poor and makes no mention of friends or family).

And Apple adverts are made in America and distributed (mainly) in America. Americans must have terrible judgement, or that America lacks institutions which monitor "commericials" for honesty, content and publicity. America are more open - freedom of speech - and so forth. The adverts suck, yes, but in America they're less restricted. Thankfully these adverts are banned from UK television companies, they're false and not advertisements.

Both are great. I'm now a Windows boy because apple turned me down for financing :P

Any Apple product is amazing though. I remember unboxing my Mac Mini and just feeling utter joy. The designs are so sleek and the functionality is brilliant.

Thing is, I get better performance from my Sony Vaio than I do a Macbook.

Although I think these insults directed towards the USA are unnecessary.

I try, but Apple frustrate me too much and let their products look terrible as an outcome :(

Hardly insults, I said "must", not "have" and went onto say "or that America lacks institutions which monitor "commericials" for honesty, content and publicity", which nulls what I said before because the latter seems more likely than the former :P

Why do Windows Fanpeoples flame Apple Fanatics but Apple Fanatics don't flame Windows Fanpeoples. Suggests to me that Windows Fanpeoples are jealous? I dunno, just a thought.

No, but it does seem like they can dish it out and not take it back doesn't it:P

I don't normally get involved with threads like these but I thought I would for once :P Anyway, I use Windows 7 and have been since the BETA. Personally I'd use OSX but there is one simple reason why I am not: They only let you use it on Apple Hardware. I've not used a pre-build computer for years and do not plan on doing so in the future. Hell, i'd pay £100 for OSX if they let you run it on non-apple hardware.

(Just to add i'm currently working on getting osx86 running on my PC but with some difficulties ;))

Depends on the reason to flame. Some Apple people are ignorant of a few facts while some Windows people are ignorant of the uses and purposes of Apple products. Two way argument at the end of the day.

Apple people do flame Windows users, but they're usually generalising as Windows products are usually more open to hardware therefore statistics and so forth change, while Windows users have more evidence against Apple computers because most of the time they only work with certain hardware and manufacturers most of the time, so the statistics don't change or vary as much. Because of this, they tend to get told to "sod off". It's like arguing about marshmallows when arguing about Windows, because there are different types of "marshmallows" while with Apple it's like arguing about different types of Coca Cola (one company, different products).

If that makes sense?
