I like the second one better.

Everyone has been panning these. It's cheesy for Novell to copycat someone else's commercials, especially such low budget ones as Apple has been producing. I've seen much funnier indie copycats of Apple's ads anyway, like the Pc vs. Mac vs. Linux ones.

Still, I guess there's the old saw about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery.

Overall, this probably actually helps Apple more than it helps Novell. It just cements Apple more into consumers' minds as the company to watch. And to buy.

I wonder if Wang and DEC made such ads?

Mac FReepers don't think these spoof ads are funny?

Who would have guessed?

Thanks for sharing. These are very funny. Keep viewing more spoof ads -- there are tons more hilarious ones!
