I think that the point of the ads is that many different people from many walks of life own PCs - with the implication that Apple only attracts a certain type of person to their products. The ads don't make Microsoft seem "generic," instead they portray the company as catering to many different kinds of people.
It doesn't make me want to support Microsoft any more than I have to, but I don't think the ads are "jaw-droppingly bad."
