Windows 7 Ad Highlights Mac's Lack Of Blu-ray
That cute little notebook doesn't look like he's hauling around a bag of hurt at all!
You might remember a long time ago when Steve Jobs dubbed Blu-ray 'a bag of hurt' and basically removed any hope of the format ever being supported by Macs. Well, this little ad from Microsoft has us remembering that day and wondering if Steve ever imagined his statement about Blu-ray would one day be the focus of a commercial from one of his biggest rivals.
This cute-as-a-button-on-a-toddler's-jammies commercial from Microsoft could easily go the way of the snide 'I'm a Mac' commercials from Apple but instead shows two notebooks (teehee) watching Avatar on Bluray while on a long flight in an aeroplane fashioned from a shuttlecock and a Campbell's soup cans. All together now, AWWW!

I like how this is way more subtle than the "Get a Mac" ads and is humorous!
LMAO - "No macs were used in the making of this video".

Oh MS, you do make me smile
I'm a PC user but hey, with average PC you won't be able to even finish such movie as Avatar! With MAC and using DVD most probably yes.

It's a fair point I suppose - if you're talking laptops on a plane (they could make a film with that name as a sequel to the snakes one) then battery life could be quite hammered by something like that. If apple didn't mind making their lack of bluray more obvious they could counter with that, just showing the same ad but have the film die half way through from battery loss. Then MS and/or an airline would come back and advertise powersockets and chargers - maybe noone would bother.
Quite a jolly advert though. Can you not just get an external drive to plug in (given macs are PCs with a different OS and a logo on the side)?
