Apple ad swings at Windows 7: 'Trust me, this time it's going to be different'
Just in time for today's Windows 7 launch comes a new Apple "Get a Mac" ad called "Broken Promises" swinging at the new operating system.
"Windows 7 is out, and it's not going to have any of the problems my last operating system had. Trust me!"
Replace Windows 7 with Vista, XP, Me, 98, 95 and even Windows 2, and you've got another pot-stirring ad spot.
Watch "Broken Promises" on Apple's site.
But that's not all -- there are two more ads that follow that spot. More, after the jump:
A second, called "Teeter Tottering," features a Windows XP user named Annie who is moving to a Mac for a "fresh start" and consumer satisfaction. The spot plays off the major headaches users will have upgrading from Windows XP to 7. Big line: "I could stick with what I know, but what I know is pain and frustration."
The third commercial, called "PC News," features PC as a news anchor speaking to an in-the-field reporter at the Windows 7 launch. The reporter interviews several excited customers, who again mention migration and Apple's No. 1 customer satisfaction.
