Love the new one where he says "a mac will run Vista faser then a PC"...

I really don’t get it, who buys that stuff.

Consider: a Mac is a PC. Exact same thing right off the Intel factory line. Exactly the same hardware. Aka a "Mac" is a "PC" now with a different OS. It would be like Linux guys slapping Linux on a Dell and not calling it a PC anymore.

You take a Mac or PC with the exact same specs and they would run Vista or OSx exactly the same.

Love Apples goofy marketing.

    What? I don't get it. A Mac is basically a PC!

    Well, a Mac is a very specific PC. What separates a "PC" from a "mac" is a PC is a general term for anything you throw together with assorted hardware; a Mac is Mac hardware in a Mac case. Kinda like a Dell is Dell hardware in a Dell case. There's nothing special about the Mac per se except it may look prettier to some people and like Silverti said, it runs OSX. The fact that they say a Mac runs Vista faster than a PC not only doesn't make sense... it really takes away the only thing Apple still has as a bargaining chip, doesn't it?
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.
