New Apple Commercials


Apple has just begun airing a set of new commercials, which compare the PC and Mac. I saw one of these on TV last night and thought it was hilarious.

The one issue in those commercials that absolutely is wrong is the Virus angle.

Mac's have very low exposure to Virus and Spyware... true.

As Mac gains market share it's exposure will remain the same... false.

All they are doing is using obscurity as a marketing tool which is deceptive and liable to hurt a lot of customers in the end. There are currently virus's out that effect the Mac, sure, there's less of them, but they do exist.

On a side note, as a virus designer, Mac is a very approachable target - one unified set of hardware, you can do some down and dirty tricks when you know all the ins and outs of a system. Not like PC's where each ones a little different.
