The "Get a Mac" campaign is old enough to vote at this point. The ads poked fun at Windows Vista. Interesting that it still lives rent free in the minds of Apple's competitors.
- chung8123 2y agoIt isn't rent free anymore. I was a 100% Windows person and when it came time to get new laptop there weren't any Windows PCs that even came close to the Mac for me. Getting used to the window management on MacOS is the only issue I have.
- bigyikes 2y agoIf you haven’t already, download Rectangle for Mac. It makes window management sane.
- nickzelei 2y agoI’ve used Rectangle (Pro) for years. Found it shortly after moving from Windows to Mac some 10 years ago. Occasionally I’ll be pairing with someone and they’ll be astounded by how quickly I can snap windows around with it. It’s one of the first programs I install on any new Mac.

- tcmart14 2y agoWill back this up. If you don't mind tossing a coin to the developer. I use magnet and enjoy it. I've also heard good things about Rectangle which is suggested by another commenter. I'd probably try Rectangle, but I already bought Magnet a long time ago.
- silisili 2y agoIt's come full circle. To me the old ads were 'PCs are for old boring guys, Macs are for young hip guys.' Now Justin Long is shown aged and boring, now looking for a PC. Perhaps reinforcing the original ad?
- dehrmann 2y agoEven then, those ads were weird because Justin Long came off as smug, while John Hodgeman was more sympathetic.
