    It ran for 1:24, and then if the dominoes could have changed they would all have been blue!! Typical windows!!! Steve needs to make a commercial about this! "Hi I'm a Mac and I'm a PC. Hey Mac did you here the good news? Windows 7 is out and I'm going to have a few problems, but your already used to that. (Mac) I heard you had a problem with 7000 dominoes? (PC) well it was a small spacing issue, but the rest fell just fine. (Mac) I thought you had 7 billion ideas, why didn't you get the spacing right if that many people helped you? (PC) Well it's complicated really, we only listened to some ideas, some ideas just didn't make sense. (Mac) Really? Like what? (PC) Well almost everyone that submitted an idea wanted us to have a reliable OS like yours. (Mac) Well how hard is that PC? (PC) It's complicated really. #windows7dominoes

    @Jsqrd:
    Typical Apple fan boy, blind to the fact that a lot of "advantages" to Macs are just the effects of crippling flaws in other areas.

    OSX is only "more reliable" (and that point is arguable anyway, modern Windows systems are a hell of a lot more stable than they used to be) because it's designed to be run only on pre approved proprietary Apple hardware. Windows is designed to be run on an incredibly vast spectrum of hardware configurations on the other hand. So yes you can take your possibly increased reliability because it comes with the price of incredibly limited hardware options, no upgrade potential and no option of servicing your machine yourself.

    Considering that Windows is constantly improving its reliability, the downsides Mac owners have to put up with is becoming increasingly less worthwhile for the benefits.

    See the problem is that you take those stupid adverts at face value and don't treat the characters the way you should.

    PC should be treated as unable to represent himself properly, chained by the fact that this is an Apple commercial and therefore cannot put forth the valid counter arguments to the bullshit sprouted by both himself and Mac.

    Mac should be treated as what he is, a corporate shill full of snake oil only ever speaking half truths and never telling the full story.

    Treat them as what they are, adverts for Apple products and therefore biased beyond belief. #windows7dominoes

    @zaneboy40:
    That's a totally groundless statement. Win7 has already shown that it's better than Vista was when Vista launched and better than Vista in its current inception. Considering that people have already been using Win7 for months now in the form of the release client and it's been perfectly fine. What basis could you possibly have for stating that problems are going to magically appear in about a month if they haven't made themselves apparent already.

    Then I read down and I see an Apple fanboy and I just go "Oh".

    Seriously I could say the exact same thing about Snow Leopard, in about a month it'll have more problems than ever before! #windows7dominoes

    @zaneboy40: I've been using Windows 7 for about 8 months now, and the only problem I've had is my video card drivers not working with Photoshop CS4, but that's to be expected with pre-release software. It was fixed months ago, and I've been rock solid since. #windows7dominoes

    @Odin: I'm gonna have to agree with you here. Let it be known that I have an iMac and a MacBook Pro, which I love, but I don't understand all the hate towards Windows. I call it like I see it, and though I love OS X, Windows 7 is a hell of an improvement on its predecessors, and I can't wait til my work PC is updated from XP to 7.

    @Odin: Snow Leopard has been used for about a month now, and no problems are showing up. Windows 7 was also in the form of a release client, but who's to say they didn't alter the coding in the end. They could have screwed something up by mistake.

    Look, I don't care if you reply to this arguing with me again. I WON'T EVEN LOOK AT THE COMMENT. So just stop arguing with me and we can just believe what we want to believe. I'm a Mac and you're a PC and it's just going to be that way, there's no way I can change you or you can change me.

    Just give it a rest. #windows7dominoes

    I feel like that's a really dubious sentiment, to say that Win7 loads faster than it takes for a Windows logo of dominoes to fall. That's like the grim insinuation in saying, "Windows 7 loads faster than it took for the Roman Empire to fall."

    In any case, that was goddamn impressive. #windows7dominoes

    What could the dominoes possibly have done to the copier at the bottom to get it to print? That seems a little.... questionable.
