On last night’s Daily Show I caught a glimpse of a new “Get A Mac” ad from Apple. You know, those fun little 30-second spots featuring John Hodgman as a PC and Justin Long as a Mac.
In this one, PC’s new Windows Vista operating system is serious about security. So serious the it comes with an “agent”. See what I mean…
I thought this was funny since I have heard about the semi-intrusive feature in Vista that repeatedly asks for permission to do simple things. Despite that, and some other egregious user interface and general user-hating flaws in the system, I will probably be the owner of a copy of Windows Vista Ultimate by the end of this day. That’s only because I will be getting it at the extreme discount that Microsoft employees get it for. It can’t hurt to have a copy of Redmond’s latest and greatest around, can it?
…”You are attempting to install Vista on your awesome MacBook Pro, cancel or allow?”
