It's gonna be the case. Let's just go to another topic with our Martinis.sv93 said:
Note* I agree on one thing. Apple uses too much bashing. I still prefer my macbook for studies.
I find it funny that after Eggo completely blows away y8 in the debate, y8 suddenly, almost magically says "Whatever, I'm right your wrong lalalalal icanthearyou"
I like the fact that "y8c616" is basing all of this information on just one man, a lecturer at his college. Okay so he's ex-industry, that accounts for something... but then I suppose if someone in this thread is current-industry and told you they used PC's/Windows, and they know of other studios who use the same... that'd kinda cancel out your third-party knowledge, no?
A lot of places use macs, a lot of places use PC's. It's already been mentioned but this whole bollocks about "Macs are better for creative-ness" is just... well, the afore-mentioned bollocks to be quite frank. I'm a 3D artist and it's safe to say my job, and a lot of the people I work with are in a "very creative" industry. There isn't a single Mac in our studio. I'm not however, about to get into why we don't use macs, or even why we prefer PC's... i'm just another individual coming to you as a professional, letting you know that I, and thousands of others in the same boat as me, use PC's.
On a personal note though, I do believe there are more people using Macs just because they're Macs, than there are people using them because it's better catered to their profession.

This topic made me laugh. The argument between Eggo and "Insert generic name here" was classic. He even pulled out the "Whatever, I know people" argument on Eggo. Good stuff.
As for the topic at hand, the commercials, much like everyones already established, are incredibly ignorant. While it is okay to poke fun every once in a while, you must do it in good taste. Constantly ragging on "software issues" that are essentially non-existant for anyone with half a brain is hitting below the belt. In my opinion, Apple loses major points for its attitude.

*Walks in thread to discuss Mac ads. Reads 2 pages of Mac flaming, and only slightly less PC flaming.*
Oh dear...
*Realises he is posting with Safari. Walks out quickly.*

I never said the product was bad, I take it that you are a mac fanboy, don't worry, no one is going to hurt Steve Jobs. And I am aware of my misspelling.Troll.MaxMees said:
I forgot to mention, that while I don't use a Mac, I do quite like those ads. I think the PC ones out now are good too, mostly because it's a nice counter-attack. Apple were freely saying "Macs are great and fun and cool, PC's are rubbish and boring and eeewww", and "PC" have just come along to say "That's incorrect", without being as blatant as Apple were with the PC bashing, they did their "bashing" by merely imitating the style of the adverts.
