Microsoft airs it’s ‘I’m a PC’ ads (with video)
MacDailyNews —
Microsoft airs its ‘I’m a PC’ ads (with video) Friday, September 19, 2008 - 01:12 AM EDT Microsoft began the next phase of their $300 million Windows Vista resuscitation campaign with three new TV ads on Thursday night. Microsoft's first ad begins with a poor imitation of John Hodgman, who plays the "PC" in Apple's "Get a Mac" ads. This is actually quite appropriate for a company whose main product, Windows, and biggest current failure, Zune, are themselves poor imitations of Apple creations. Microsoft's fake Hodgman claims, "Hello, I'm a PC, and I've been made into a stereotype." Somehow, Microsoft seems to have failed to ...
Microsoft’s New “I’m A PC” Ads Air; Something Is Fundamentally Wrong
TheAppleBlog —
Tonight, during The Office, Microsoft began airing its “phase 2″ of their $300 million ad campaign (after giving Seinfeld the boot) which features regular, everyday users saying “I’m A PC”…yes, it’s a direct response to Apple’s I’m A Mac/I’m A PC ads.

[image] People Much Happier With New Microsoft Ads Microsoft has rolled out three new commercials after pulling the plug on Seinfeld . In case you missed it, Microsoft launched a $300 million ad campaign starting with two drawn-out ads featuring Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfled. While some thought the ads entertaining and funny, the majority of people (at least those writing about it) were less than impressed . Yesterday, Microsoft said they would no longer continue with the Seinfeld commercials and that "phase two" would be announced today. Well, "phase two" is here, and there is no Seinfeld to be ...
Video: Microsoft Airs Two More “I’m A PC” Commercials, PC Guys Tells His Story
MacBlogz - One Stop Apple News —
In an attempt to reclaim “PC Guy” and correct his image, Microsoft has launched a new ad campaign called “I’m a PC.” The new ads start off mimicking Apple’s “Get a Mac” ads with a John Hodgman lookalike.
Like the ads previously aired by Microsoft, these commercials do not feature Vista, or even mention Windows. They are entirely focused on targeting Apple and the “Get a Mac” ads, and reclaiming the PC image by telling the public that “he’s been made into a stereotype.” While the commercials do fall short in some ...
