I am a Mac, I am a PC

Apple has made a series of ads ridiculing the PC.

Mac: "I am a Mac"
PC: "I am a PC"

The above is the initial dialogue in the ad series.

Apple despite several years of critisizing Microsoft has never been able to win over the battle. PC still rules the market by more than 95%.

Prior to this ad, Mac ran ads on its website with the theme "Switcher". Anyone who switches from PC to Mac is called a switcher.

Few of the main reasons for the non acceptance of Macs are the following:
1. Macs cost more than the PCs.
2. PC dominates the world - more than 95 % of computer users are PC users.
3. Macs underwent major changes in very short period of time both in hardware and software; causing frustration among Mac users and sometimes leaving no option other than forcing users to spend money on upgrades.
4. Apple is well known for creating huge hypes about even the smallest things.
5. Common comment: "I can live without a Mac, but I cannot live without a PC"
6. There are not many games on Macs
7. Many software titles that are available on a PC are not available on the Mac.

Macs are very popular among people who do video editing. Apple is well known for its perfection in design. Apple computers with Intel chips can now boot to Windows also if needed.
