Untill recently Mac's simply wern't as powerful as PC's and thats why they don't have the latest and greatest games.
From a business perspective they're too expensive and they don't run very many programs. At least none of the programs we use like Accumap, Hysys and Stars.
I've also never factored the virus thing into the comparison because if you're not an idiot you can keep a PC running for many years without catching a virus.
Back on topic, I personally find the commercials very entertaining, much better than most.
A while ago I was looking at laptops and thought about getting a Mac but I ended up going for the $600 Toshiba Best Buy Back-to-School special. With a free printer, 15.4" screen, 1.6mhz Celeron processor, 1GB of ram, etc. it seemed like the better deal.

At leat your arguement is rational. I agree the business world and PC's will be in bed for a long time to come...but there is a whole other aspect that people aren't paying attention to...well except apple.
It's all based off the saying "Once you go Mac, you never go Back." Apple knows that they have a better product in terms of performance than MS has, hell Gates has said that. Its now an issue of how Mac approaches their attack of the market. They're doing an excellent job with getting the attention of college students, with Edu. deals...If you walk into any campus bookstore in North America you'll see poster ads for iPods and Macbooks. Walking around the library you'll find that there are all the sudden a hell of a lot of macs being used by students.
The students of today are the business people of tomorrow, and if they're already using mac...theres a good chance that they'll continue the trend when they migrate into the workforce.
