If you are familiar with the US Apple vs Mac ad campaign I suggest you take a look at the Japanese version. I came across it today and I got a kick out of it.

Very nice.

There's a torrent floating around that has several hundred Japanese commercials in it: chances are, it would be worth downloading purely for the comedic value, in addition to whatever educational properties it might have.

This Mac Ad seems a bit bonkers to me. They're simultaneously slamming Microsoft for making crappy software and bragging about Microsoft software that runs on their platform. Not sure how that works:

Ya I thought that one was a little odd myself, my take was just that they were saying its OK to come over here you can still get your work done. Nobody said the artsy fartsy mac types couldn't be hypocrites.
