But wasn't the focus of the ads that Macs may be cool, but you cannot buy Macs for the budget that each person had for their purchase? IIRC, every ad had the person look at a Mac and lament that they just couldn't afford it, or the Mac that they could afford was not powerful enough to meet their needs, or was missing some feature (e.g., "Bluray!!!").
Ok, that said, I like these ads, and it's good to see that Microsoft has hired a competent ad agency. Their ads this year (including that laptop hunters) have been very effective.
