Buzz Out Loud discussed a thing on how Microsoft ads are coming to respond to the onslaught of anti-Vista Apple advertising. Ever full of waffles on OS choice (and a Mac, Windows, and Linux user interchangably) I've come up with a few commercials Microsoft can do.
Apparently the theme is "Free the People." It's about hardware choice over a single platform. If it were me, here's what I'd do:
Show a $400 budget office PC. Roll specs and price. Show an iMac.
Show a $1000 family PC. Roll specs and price. Show an iMac.
Show a $2500 gaming rig. Roll specs and price. Show an iMac.
Show generic Microsoft slogan about choice.

Show a $500 subnotebook running Vista. Show a Macbook.
Show a $1200 standard office notebook. Show a Macbook.
Show one of those laptops in a half dozen colors. Show a Macbook Pro.
Show a $4000 super-ultimate VAIO. Show a Macbook.
Show generic Microsoft slogan about choice.
fin.
Show a tablet PC.
Show a blank screen.
Show generic Microsoft slogan about choice.

Show a video card upgrade. Show a sealed iMac.
Show a RAM upgrade. Show a sealed iMac.
Show a hard drive upgrade. Show an iMac.
Show generic Microsoft slogan about choice.

Heh. Yes, non-Apple computers DO Free the People. However, they also free people to use Linux ;)
