Did it ever really "work"... or just had it's moments between "pauses" (i.e. crashes)

hahaha

other than the half-wit remark... I have no clue what you are talking about.

One of the dumbest commercials I have ever seen. Put that up against Apple's commercials and Windows crashes big time (like always).

My Windows Vista based computer has stopped giving me the blue screen of death finally! Now it just shuts down and reboots without any screen!

Strange. I have never had an issue with several Vista computers. I run an XP computer and 2 Vista computers and an Apple, the Vista laptop gets the most use. No problems.

Vista clean install is incredibly durable. The only ones I know of personally with Vista issues are upgraders.

the fact that my 10 year old HP printer doesn't work with Vista isn't Vista's fault. It's HP's.

I am completely clueless as to how that commercial has anything to do with Windows or Mac. It just doesn't "work" for me, and I'm not even a die hard Windows or Mac person.

Honestly, I'm not sure I understand the commercial. Maybe it is just too high brow for a lowly Mac user.

Hello, I'm a Mac...
