I hope it's nothing to crazy. No more circus shoes, or random robot dancing!davaloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11892384584858941771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907922502872941965.post-61013497813016369252008-09-11T07:40:00.000-07:002008-09-11T07:40:00.000-07:00I have seen that commercial and it actually kind o...I have seen that commercial and it actually kind of annoys me for how vague it is about anything. I like ads that try and persuade me why this is a good product I don't like ads that don't really give me a reason to want the product.Jessica Mosleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768312797065657583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907922502872941965.post-90030547519918027412008-09-11T00:30:00.000-07:002008-09-11T00:30:00.000-07:00I'm not sure I would go as far as to say that macs...I'm not sure I would go as far as to say that macs are the "new computer of choice." Although they are increasing in popularity, Microsoft as of 2003, held over 97% of the pc market share on the planet. I agree that Mac has increased its market share but i doubt that in the last 5 years microsoft has lost much of its dominance. <BR/>Also I think that the commercial is a type of analagy where "Shoe Circus" is in a way microsoft. At the beginning of the commercial Jerry says, "Quality shoes at discount prices, why pay more?" I think they're trying to subliminally show people that PC's are still quality machines that cost much less than Mac, so why would you buy a Mac?Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01741349058825175841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907922502872941965.post-30192539227782645912008-09-10T22:41:00.000-07:002008-09-10T22:41:00.000-07:00When I first saw this commercial, I would not have...When I first saw this commercial, I would not have had any idea that it was for Microsoft if it hadn't of been for Bill Gates. Personally, I'm not a Seinfeld fan and don't really find him funny. I don't think Jerry/Bill have anything on the Apple Mac/PC Guy commercials. I do think the target audience for this campaign are the mid 30's to 50's PC users. They are not making much of an effort to compete with Mac for the younger audiences, at least not with this campaign. As a newly converted PC to Mac user, I have to say I think this commercial fails.Christine Pegghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09630517832191851328noreply@blogger.com
