I have to agree with Hulse here,
I'm grateful FanIn80 posted the link because I got to read a good article, get to see a whole bunch of cool commercials and see some sweet print Ads.
But the OP could have worded the post in so many different ways that wouldn't elicit this reaction and possibly generate some useful discussion.
eg: maybe not mentioning Apple at all, and maybe somebody like myself would bring up how they have been very effective in marketing this past decade.
So I'm sad this thread has turned into a "fanboy", "not a fanboy", "MS sucks", "apple sucks" thread instead of "that Phillips Carousel commercial is pretty sweet, but how does that make me want to buy whatever they're selling because I still have no clue"

Maybe that wasn't the intent, but that's sure going to be the reaction on something as polarizing as Apple.
