Actor John Hodgman and Justin Long in the 'Security' version of the popular Apple ads

Bill Gates that is. Apparently Microsoft head Gates is less than thrilled with Apple’s “I’m a PC, I’m an Apple” commercials, describing them as ‘lying’ and complaining that the boys from Cupertino are being mean to Gates’ new Vista OS. At least that’s according to this interview, published on MSNBC (not that you should expect a hard hitting interview – three guesses as to what the MS part refers to).

Gates also goes on to say that he’s never seen the ‘Surgery’ version of the ads – where actor John Hodgman – more noted for his droll appearances on The Daily Show – is being prepped for ‘Surgery’ – an update to the recently released Vista. No offence to Mr. Gates, but he comes across a little on the whiny side (on the other hand, I think it’s pretty safe to say that the Apple vs. Microsoft ‘truce’ is completely over). Personally, I love the ads, and found the recent ‘Security’ version (pictured above) so hilarious, almost choked on my coffee. If you’re interested (I know you are) you can see all the ads at Apple’s web site.
