    That commercial was really disappointing. I expected a more Mac vs PC thing like Gizmodo expected I guess

    That commercial wasn't funny at all. I thought maybe I missed something because I'm not super tech-savvy, so I feel a little better knowing it wasn't just me.

    I actually thought the commercial was hilarious! I love Jerry though, so that might be why. Really though, would you want it to be just like a Mac vs PC ad? If they had done that then every Apple fan would berate them for being unoriginal.

    Agreed mrs mraz. Mac people are fanatics and would love for windows to copy mac commercials just to say how great and original mac is.

    This commercial was sooooo boring though.. maybe they should stick to the topic... of....uhhhhhh... computers... or...uhhhh... i donno... electronical stuff

    I first saw this commercial when my TV was on mute, and I couldn't make much sense of it (and commercials are usually pretty easy to follow, even with no sound), but now that I've seen it with sound it still doesn't make much sense.
