April 2008 Commercials
In April 2008, Apple released a series of new Get A Mac ads. The ads are titled "Yoga" and "Breakthrough".In "Yoga", the PC enlists the help of a yoga instructor (played by Judy Greer) in an attempt to alleviate stress caused by some of the more frustrating features of Vista.
In "Breakthrough", Apple and a therapist (played by Corinne Bohrer) attempt to convince PC that he should not feel guilty for all of the faults of modern computing. The PC eventually reaches a "breakthrough", convinced that "It's Mac's fault" instead.

Was excited to get a Mac for our next family computer until Apple's latest round of ads. Omnipresent + insufferable = bad combination.

Watching "Get a Mac" ads from '06. Mac and PC stood closer together back then. I think the move to widescreen has strained their friendship.
