Those people would be wrong. I bought my first mac because in 1985 PCs couldn't do anything better then Atari and Commodore computers. (Which I owned.) In '99 it looked like Apple was dying and I had no choice but to get a PC. I helped my friend get his PC "working" (Not his first PC either.) and the experience convinced me that I'd rather have the last Mac ever made then go through that. I know more then most people about PCs. That's why I don't buy them.
It DOES work both ways. If I should become the one Mac user in 100 that can't live without MS Office 07, I could just instal windows on my Mac. What would happen if you somehow couldn't live without Final Cut? And yes I too am a professional. Real pros don't waste money on "Pro" items that don't meet their real needs. Professional PENs exist, but bankers don't use them - draftsmen do.
The Microsoft Network? You're kidding - why would I want any of that stuff? NeoOffice is free and reads everything, Premiere has been buggy as hell on both macs and PCs since version 5. (I loved 4.7) Garage Band is FUN and easy. It serves my video needs. (If I was a music pro I'd buy pro apps.) The purpose of programs is to DO THINGS. Macs DO THINGS better. Getting fixated on specific names (Picasa vrs iLife) means that you have forgotten why you bought a computer in the first place.
You need Final Cut for the same reason that I need Windows and MS Office. None! You are back to listing titles again, but there is plenty of Freeware for Macs, and more doesn't mean better. Other then infect my friends with viruses, what _activity_ (not program) do you think Macs can't do as well as PCs?
Incredible thing... Denial! I think this is a good campaign, but it is deceiving. Like most Advertising Campaigns they just want to sell you a product. For everyone that uses MS Windows, cleaning Virus, Spyware, and troubleshooting is a everyday Reality. Unless you have a friend or relative, etc.. that cleans and setups for you. Peace
I help other friends with their PCs all the time. When was the last time you bought a Mac?
it's not about going with the herd, it's that makes sharing things easier (most of the times)...
Or that's what i think at least...
Cool!
Oh much, much better Microsoft

I'm a PC because I can't afford a Mac.
If you think so, then you don't know as much about Macs as you think you do. BTW: I want to run Final Cut, iPhoto, and Garage Band.
Sorry, I'm wrong. A Mac could infect PCs just fine, but you'd have to do it on purpose. It's not automatic like on a PC.

I really like this advertisement. I believe it really captures the M$ experience, long and pointless.
My MacBook just lol'd at this lame commercial.
Buy a PC because everyone is. Don't make an informed choice, go with the herd.
