Predictably, Apple has released new 30-second ads that slam Microsoft and Windows 7.

Here are the ads:

Apple once again homes in on the chink in Microsoft's armor - the fact that migrating from XP to Windows 7 is a big hassle for users. The message is that if you're having to upgrade, why not switch to the computer that's #1 in customer satisfaction - a Mac.

As expected, these ads make no mention of the fact that "Snow Leopard" has been a bit of a pain in the rear for users, shipping out of the box with a vulnerable and exploitable version of Adobe Flash, and, oh yes, that nasty Guest user bug that could hose people's data.

Still, these ads are, as always, highly entertaining.
