New Apple Ads: PC Customers Upgrade to a Mac, Not Windows 7

Apple has released three new Mac/PC ads that aim at Windows problems, specifically with their past operating systems. Below is one of their recent adds that highlights the continuing problems with Windows operating system and wonders how Windows 7 will be any different. This is not the only thing Apple has done to steal momentum from Windows 7 recent release.



Apple has also recently released new iMacs and a new white unibody MacBook as well as their new Magic Mouse. The new iMacs come in 21.5" and 27" 16:9 widescreen displays. They also come standard with a wireless keyboard and their new wireless Magic Mouse that features multi-touch support much like the trackpads in the MacBook and MacBook Pro.

In addition to their new product line Apple's quarterly earnings were also released this week with record numbers including a 47% quarterly profit jump. Apple's stock is now trading around $205 per share, an all-time high for the company.

There's no doubt that Apple is stealing Microsoft's thunder of their recent release of Windows 7, but will Apple's recent buzz translate into increased sales of it's products? Will PC users make the switch based on the company's recent success, updated product mix, or newly released ads? Post your thoughts in the comment section below.
