uhh not true.. apple is really good.. i dont have one.. or know anyone how does.. i used OS9 at kinkos and liked it.. but its not for me.. i was really confused about what was where.. lol.. i like was making their desktop clean and i put the photoshop.exe in the trash (did not know) and lol.. u can guess the rest :p

i dont think you have seen the amount of winxp ad's.. :right:

[Hypercube]

Apple's main flaw is not allowing competitors to use their os. As a result, they need to be well known, thus the ads on the magazines:)

Microsoft advertises a million more times more than Apple with those "Yes you can" XP, MSN, and "thats one degree of seperation" .Net adds.

I actually enjoyed seeing the two page iMac add on the first 2 pages of one of my ESPN magazines a while ago. Quite yummy looking.

Remember the '1984' add for Apple back in the '80s? That was advertising...

Nowadays we have to watch $hit with artificially bright green 'grass' and people flying around for no reason....give it a rest!!

[Silvorgold]

i like apple's advertising heck alot more than m$'s, apple puts quality into their advertising, and ms just puts ppl (who seem high or something) in their adds n make them flying n stuff :s

i got an ipod brochure the other day and was looking at it n on the playlist on the brochure it even had a song that was by a band thats hometown is around here :D lol

[willywonka69]

i always liked Apples advertising..maybe its just me:D

[BroChaos Veteran]

me too. i dunno why exactly, it just feels "fresh" for some reason.

[Winston]

i like both

but ms adds u see it too much and u start to get sick of it

but macs well i reackon its a bit typical

its always white background sorta fing hehe

[altezza Veteran]

that's their marketing way...trying to get more people to iMac...and increasing the share of computer users. PC still dominates mostly! :)

It's not that you can't say that, you can state your opinion all you want. But just saying "...becasue Macs sucks" without any back up thoughts or reason is just a immature, uneducated post. My opinion.:ponder:

There's a difference betwee blatent trolling and a well expressed opinion, perhaps you don't realise that.

[youm0nt Veteran]

you mean one of those little 5 page brochures on the new imac?dude, i found one in a Instyle magazine(fashion magazine) and i still have it.wasnt mine.

i know it's not just me noticing this, Apple seems to be the only major brand who has a focus on quality of their ads visual appearence, not just if they can sell a product. Not that it's not a focus as well, becuase people who like pretty graphics tend to buy macs ;)

however, i think apple's got a great style down and shouldn't be critisized for putting out ads. they've got to gain brand recognition somehow :D

[UKer]

Mac need to advertise to play down the stereotyping and all the preconceptions people have when they think of macs (e.g. here it's school computers which aren't good for anything but graphics and which can't play games - which isn't true).

Apple should try and show what their machines can do IMO, all the nice graphics and style used in their advertising plays on the fact most people think macs are only capable of nice graphics. There is also a 'mystery' in the average users eye which makes them sceptical of macs as those without technical knowlegde don't understand many of the machine's details like the OS.
