Apple also wants to capitalize on the talks of Microsoft's campaign flop. The company has released two new ads in its Mac Vs. PC campaign.

The first commercial has PC piling up money for its advertising and making a small pile to "fix Vista." The second commercial features PC holding a buzzer to bleep out any mention of the word, "Vista."

Which company's commercials are more effective, Microsoft or Apple, and why? Share your opinion.
