Get A Mac

Am I the one of the few Mac faithful that think the
'Get A Mac' adverts are getting a bit, well snarky?
So this week we have another 3 new 'get a mac'
adverts.
Mmm, now these did start out as quite fun. Actually I prefered the UK ads, which seem to be sadly missing from the Apple site now, but then I do like Mitchell and Webb's style of humor. However, Apple have now been harping on about how bad PC's are in general and specifically how bad Vista is for 3 years now. Wow, has it really been 3 years? Didn't seem that long to me. Isn't it time to say enough is enough.
Maybe it's time for Apple to start actually pushing the good things about the mac, rather than just saying Vista sucks, we are better. It seems to me to much like the sort of negative campaigning that we get all to often in politics.
Apple do have much to shout about with the Mac, so why bother picking on the apparently easy target of Vista. I say apparently because I'm in the fortunate position of never having used Vista beyond playing it on demo machines in PC World. However I think most of the rest of world seems to agree (including Microsoft them selfs) that Vista does indeed suck.
Maybe it's because I British and don't like to see a man kicked when he's down, but come Apple, can we have some better ads next time...please.
