Microsoft’s 300M ad campaign to fight back from Apple’s ‘Get a Mac<\/a>‘ ads finally made sense yesterday, when they aired the third in the series, ‘Im a PC’. Unlike the first two<\/a> episodes<\/a> in the series, Microsoft is now pushing the right message – People who use PCs are not, dull, boring, uneducated stereotypical users, they’re human, and some of them successful humans at that.<\/p>\n

Hit the jump for video <\/p>\n

\nMicrosoft have since released two further ads in the series: I Wear a Suit<\/a> and I Am Not Alone<\/a>
