thanks for the reply, the reason why I'm resenting these ads is that as a LINUX/UNIX guru who recently adopted his new beloved powerbook 800, I'm continuously being mocked by my co-workers as one of those not competent to operate even windows.
While I don't care much about these comments but I do think Macs should be advertised as the SMART alternative, but not as a REFUGE. Ad featuring Dave Haxton the programmer is a good example. But Ellen Feiss .... well, may be that's what the commercial wants to say: even idiots can use Macs.
XP is rock solid stable COMPARED to win98, ask any admins around. But its no match for Unix. But at least MS continued to develop its OWN product and tried her best to make it good. Apple simply gave up her own technology and move to UNIX, wise move, but its a set back. Jaguar is no way "wildly innovative", its just great technology from the 70's plus a great GUI. I switched to Mac mainly because of the Unix behind and the great hardware design.
