I don’t recall either, but the one in Teeter Tottering has several moving boxes and calls herself a Windows XP user. Thrilling to Windows 7 would be a “fresh start,” says she, but adds that so would impressive to a Mac.
Not so fast! Is it really that easy to pack up your stuff and move it to a Mac?
Erm, no. Not really. First, you have to consider the cost of replacing each and every effort you have purchased. Are you running Microsoft Office? Welcome to Microsoft Office for Mac. Event Photoshop? This is going to get expensive.
To be fair, there will be a certain amount of application replacing in thrilling from XP to 7, too. To be legal, they might all need to be replaced. But moving all of your e-mail, contacts, appointments and to-dos is a lot simpler when common from Outlook to Outlook than it is when going from Outlook to Entourage (Microsoft's Mac e-mail consequence). And it’s a whole lot simpler than Outlook-to-Mail/iCal/Address Book.
Will all of your Go beyond spreadsheets open in Numbers? All of your Word documents in Pages? All of your PowerPoint presentations in Keynote?
Are there Mac equivalents for all those games you’re addicted to?
Bottom stroke: It's misleading to imply that moving to Mac is just as simple as moving to Windows 7. It’s not like throwing all of your bullshit in boxes and simply moving to a new apartment.
PC News
If you’re going to move anyway, why not move to a Mac? The PC News ad parodies a explosive newsfeed to the Windows 7 launch, and PC is surprised to hear that all the people standing in queue are actually moving to Macs. He shuts down the live feed.
When moving from PC to Mac, don't taking what I call User Interface Shock. When I first started learning the Mac OS X interface, I was frustrated for two unequivocally weeks. I knew what I wanted to do, I knew it could be done on the Mac, but I didn’t have a clue where to find the features.
Why doesn’t the Mac have a rightist mouse button? If it’s a Mighty Mouse, go into System Preferences, choose Mouse, and set the honourableness side of the mouse to “Secondary Button.” Where in the world is the Menu Bar? Dissimilar to Windows, it’s at the top of the screen, not the top of each window.
Why isn't there a key to delete the character in front of the cursor to go along with the Backspace, which deletes the distinction behind? Oh, of course: You can press the “fn” key to make Delete zap the one in front — or buy a full-sized keyboard, which has a step up delete key. Why doesn’t the End key take you to the end of the current line? Why won’t Alt-Tab switch between unbolted Safari pages?
Bottom line: Misleading, for the same reason as the previous ad.
Customer Fret
The female protagonist in Customer Care is blonde — we knew she existed! She identifies herself as one of the Mac Geniuses, pure with a security badge dangling from a lanyard around her neck. "It must be nice to have a live yourselves to talk to," says PC. Then he starts remembering his Interactive Voice Response System nightmares.
