Get a Mac, but don’t give up on Vista

The most recent round of “Get a Mac” ads put Vista squarely in their sights, so it’s little surprise to see that trend continue with Apple’s newest web banner ads as well. MacDailyNews caught sight of one on CNet, though it’s likely showing up on some other sites as well.
Cute, right? Me, I gave up on Vista a long time ago. A friend of mine is currently in the process of downgrading to XP…by which I of course mean “upgrading to a more familiar experience.”

That's a pretty cool ad! I like the way they interconnected to different advertising spaces.
I gave up on Vista when I tried the horrible Longhorn beta two years ago. That's about the time I switched to Apple.
That was one of the best web ads I've seen, and the actual commercial was one of my favourites, too!
