They never will be and it has absolutely nothing to do with the "Get a Mac" ads. I was a windows user for 10+ years. I had Windows 3.1 installed on my first laptop. I can relate to every single one of those "Get a Mac" ads as "Hey, that's right. That happened to me!" And it happened to thousands other people. Just because Windows DOMINATES PC gaming doesn't mean those ads are feces flinging BS because it doesn't make them any less true. Finally. Your whole argument is flawed because even though you think the ad was funny, which it was not, it doesn't change the fact that it doesn't get the point it wants to make across and nothing more than incoherent babble thriving on Seinfeld's stardom and gave me, and I'm sure many other people with half a brain, the thought that screamed "Why did I just wait 3 minutes of my life watching this?" The ad makes NO SENSE and it certainly doesn't make me want to go out and buy a Windows PC. And this is the reason Microsoft has dropped Seinfeld and are using the new "I'm a PC" ads which make a lot more sense although still logically flawed. That's my two cents. EDIBLE COMPUTERS. Did he really say EDIBLE COMPUTERS!??!? I still have to watch it again to believe it............ Macs are not made for gaming.

"No." "What is it?" "Leather..." To me, the only funny part is that dead silence and nod of agreement after the question,
“Is that your toe?”
“No.”
“What is it?”
“Leather…”

Funnier than Apple's inaccurate mud(feces?)-flinging adds where they try to make Windows look like less fun than OSX (even though it thoroughly DOMINATES PC gaming as the platform of choice).
