RE: And with the i5 - we have a TV Commercial !

Hi Phil -

That has to be one of the most uninformative TV ads out there, and is right in-line with the pharmaceutical ads where you're told 'product X' could be right for you, however you're not told specifically what - things are alluded to, but nothing specific is mentioned - 'product X' actually addresses.

There are laws about pharmaceutical ads. If they say anything specific about the product then they also have to list the possible side-effects, etc. That doesn't apply to computer ads, though it might be nice if it did ...

"Buy Windows XP. Warning ... possible side-effects are crashes due to operating system instabilities, virus infections due to security holes, etc."
