80% of people that have a computer use a PC, now that’s a serious number. So who’s in that 80%? Geeks? Not just them, but people of all walks of life around the world use a PC not just PC Guy in the Apple commercials. Macs are not going anywhere but perhaps the marketing tactics may shift into a different direction not trying to stereotype PC users and the machines itself. 

Taking The High Road With Class

This PC ad was well made as I think Microsoft took the high road and presented it with class. Microsoft could have fought back sticking jabs at Apple, but why? Apple chose to take aim at Windows with all those Mac ads and although they were funny, it just seemed childish. I always though as Microsoft being the big brother being nagged by the younger one. The big brother just stands there silent knowing the proof is in the pudding, still… provoke the big bro long enough and well.

PC Is The Majority

It’s true whether you like it or not, and this ad just reminds us that most of us use a PC. There are several reasons why it is from its readily availability, common use, or business compatibility. I personally use a PC because well, I run a business. It is extremely important to me to have access to all the design and work programs made available, and most third party programs are made for PC. Macs are great machines don’t get me wrong, but I need a machine that can handle business along with games, oops…Mac won’t run the games I play.

 

I’m A PC Ad Just Reminds Us of It’s Vast User Base 

Remember that Mac ad that shows PC on a throne? Well, you know it’s actually fitting, PC is the king according to the numbers it is estimated that 75-80% of people that have a computer have a PC, now that’s throne material. Now let me show you some of my numbers, below you will find a pie chart illustrated what kind of operating systems are being used to view Dreamlinestudio.com

 

 

 

 

80% Of Our Visitors Are Using Windows

These numbers are very telling but perhaps this isn’t breaking news to the Apple camp but Microsoft wanted to remind everyone that hey, your not a geek for owning a PC and forget the stereotyping Apple tries hard to place on PC users. 

Apple Will Show It’s Dominance When…

I guess I will tip my cap when I start seeing the Apple logo in bank, grocery, and federal terminals. IBM is the backbone while Macs caters to the entertainment type systems, I like playing around with iTunes and maybe editing a video or 2. In the end, it really depends what you are into. Are you a video or music producer? Do you own your own bank and need a network? Do you just want a machine to hold your music and check email? All I can is it all depends on what you want to do.

The Message

The Ad shows user versatility and that not all PC users are geeks like me, heck…if PC is good for NASA, then I’m A-OK with it.

Watch the “I’m A PC” Ad

The Microsoft Windows website has a neat backround showcasing different people that submitted little videos where you can click to hear thier message being a PC user and what they do, clever.
