I know that Windows superfans hate these, but I think that they remain effective with their target audience, folks who are not tech enthusiasts and have perhaps been burned in the past by problems with malware, sluggish starts of new computers loaded with crapware, etc. I like "Broken Promises" most of these three.

Meh. It's time for a different spin on these. I would like to see PC guy become a Mac user with the ads focusing on the things he can do with his Mac running Snow Leopard. (of course Long will be there as his personal "Genius" ) I'm thinking the new 27" iMac would be great machine for these
