arcticstoat writes "After experimenting with three ads featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Bill Gates, resulting mixed opinions about whether they're funny or not, Microsoft has now decided to go straight for the Jobsular with its next set of ads for Windows. Directly targeting Apple's 'I'm a Mac, and I'm a PC' series of Get a Mac ads, Microsoft's new adverts are all introduced by a man who looks like John Hodgman (the PC in the Mac ads), saying 'I'm a PC.'

He then follows this with another phrase, such as 'and I've been made into a stereotype' before the advert shifts to a range of people performing a diverse assortment of jobs, all of which also say they're a PC. Among those featured are astronaut Bernard Harris, as well as religious author Deepak Chopra and 'Desperate Housewives' actress Eva Longoria. The ad also features a wide range of anonymous people, including a shark diver, a teacher and a guy with a beard. Check out all the videos here."
