Edit: I screwed up on the choices (my first time doing this) Its meant to be:
Are you offended by the Apple commercial?
Yes
No
Im not sure/Couldn't care less
Have you seen Apple's (not so) new commercial about the Intel Chip that used to be trapped inside PCs, performing dull little tasks (In Canada we have it...don't know about you neighbors to the south) and from today, the Intel chip would be set free, and get to live a life in a Mac. Here's the (almost) exact phrase:
"for a long time, the Intel chip has been trapped inside PCs, dull little boxes, dutifully performing, dull little tasks, when it could have been doing SO much more. From today, the Intel chip would be set free! And get to live a life in a Mac. Think of the possibilities."
I personally am offended by this commercial...I mean, Mac wouldn't be there now if not for Microsoft. Just how many home Mac users are there compared to Windows? Most of the Mac sales are from iPods and to schools, workplaces, etc. If they only sold their computers to home users, they would be gone from the world already. And the iPods are selling like crazy because Apple struck a deal with Microsoft that enabled iPod to be used on Windows platform as well, and to include iTunes with every new computer sold. I mean, if iPod was Mac exclusive then maybe Creative would have been the bestseller; it all come down to this: there aren't enough home users to support the products. New iMacs come with Microsoft Powerpoint, Word, and Excel because Apple knew that they would have to incorporate what many view as industry benchmark, the Microsoft Office Suite, to boost their sales. Now people who used to use Microsoft Word because they weren't available on Apple can buy Macs, I'm sure they figured.
My point: are you offended in any way by this commercial and the message?
