Let the battle continue--Mac vs PC

Nowadays, you are either:

male or female

democrat or republican

cat lover or dog lover

and now--

PC or Mac.

It's funny how a household item has turned into something that defines who we are.  They say Mac users are snobby and arrogant...while PC users are slow and not hip.

I will admit- I'm a Mac.  I have been for nearly 3.5 years.  And I do believe that Mac's are superior to other laptops because they are much easier for me.  Although, I am proficient on both a PC and a Mac, I find that projects take less time and stress when performed on a Mac. 

And in the work force, time equals money.

However, what catches my eye the most are the PR/Marketing campaigns launched by both companies.  Mac's commercials are hilarious with the person acting as a PC and the other as a Mac and that helps people relate to each--especially when Mac points out all the problems PC has (even if you are a PC you have to admit they are right about the problems) and the lasted PC commercials with the tag line, "Windows 7 was my idea" are very audience centered. 

I will leave you with two commercials--a PC one and a Mac one.  Choose which one is a better PR campaign and why and tell me in the comments.
