I’m a Pc………Not~

约翰·格鲁伯谈微软的「我是 PC」广告

苹果常年放送的「Get a Mac」电视广告的要义在于:约翰·胡治曼与贾斯汀·朗演的是两台拟人化的电脑。每则广告开头的台词就把这点点明了:「你好,我是麦金塔。」「我是 PC。」胡治曼不是「Windows」,朗也不是 Mac OS X。他们并非普通的、亦非有代表性的 PC / 麦金塔用家,他们是电脑。
他们没有打扮成电脑的样子,他们的装扮就是人的装扮。后现代主义在这里被带入了超级荒诞而又深度嬉谑的商业境地。

但这整个概念告诉了我们苹果是干什么的。苹果不是一家卖操作系统的公司,他们卖的是电脑。微软不卖电脑,他们卖的是操作系统。(苹果卖 129 美元的盒装 Mac OS X 只算是软件升级包;只有先卖出电脑,这套系统才能用的上。)毫无疑问,苹果和微软的对峙属于商业史上历时最久也最有趣的案例之一,但奇怪之处在于这是一种不对称的对峙。苹果的直接竞争对手不是微软,而是那些出售跑着 Windows 操作系统的电脑的 PC 厂商。

这并不只是咬文嚼字。麦金塔和 PC 的最大区别就在于操作系统,这一点毫无悬念。苹果那些自大的广告的天才之处在于它们承认这点,但却没有以 Windows 为靶子。相反,它们选择了淡化 Windows。Windows 只是令 PC(角色)之所以是 PC 的诸多因素中的一个。那一系列广告对微软保持中立态度,有时甚至还表现出一定的尊敬。有一则广告嘲讽了一下 Vista,但另外几则却强调了微软的 Office 软件在麦金塔上跑得一样好。在至少一则广告里,朗扮演的麦金塔电脑甚至还说在 Boot Camp 的帮助下麦金塔跑 Windows 跟 PC 一样顺畅。

苹果这些广告传递出的并不是一个非此即彼的心态,它们不是要你在两个竞争对手中作出选择,比如民主党 / 共和党、雪弗兰 / 福特、可口可乐 / 百事可乐等等。相反,它们要传递的是「特殊与常规」的概念。不是可口可乐对百事可乐,而是可口可乐对「汽水」。

Windows 不是麦金塔的对手,也不是竞争者。它是一种无处不在的将 PC 水准整体拉低了的同质剂。

是否真的如此并不重要。关键在于苹果在其广告中对 Windows 就是这样呈现的。Windows 是常态,是默认选择,是典型。Mac OS X 和在那上面跑的软件是不一样的。因为这种不一样,麦金塔永远会是麦金塔,而 PC 永远别想拥有这种不一样。

所以你现在知道为什么微软新推出的「我是 PC」广告差到令人合不拢嘴了:它们非但没有反驳苹果广告传递的信息,相反还强化了它。找来几十个不同的人声称自己「是 PC」,反复强调全世界有十亿台跑着 Windows 系统的 PC,这只会强化一个印象:PC 不是品牌,PC 代表着普通和常态。

微软的这些新广告强调的信息和苹果所强调的信息是一样的:麦金塔是世界上唯一的品牌化电脑。

PS.此广告的一个笑点还在于,在flicker上惊爆出广告是采用苹果电脑制作的

 

那么看看广告:
I’m PC!

  • I’m a PC

  • I’m a PC, and I Wear a Suit

  • I’m a PC, and I am Not Alone

接着看苹果的广告:

Get a Mac!

    apple4us 是一个网站,网站不会翻译,就算会翻译(比如 Google Translate)也翻译不出上面的水准。请按照原译文的署名方式署名。

  2. 好了,我修改了一下。

    你的BLOG不错,不过估计你是在SAFARI环境下做的,MOZILLA核心的浏览器能正常浏览,但IE不能正常浏览,有空你就改进一下吧,让你的同学们都感受一下

  4. 是吗?我没有实验过也~那是什么问题出现了呢?

  5. 看来是有一个网址不能够被截断尔撑破了布局,导致侧边栏到底下的问题?你知道解决这种问题的方法吗?
    没在学校有一段时间了。也没有积极测试,只是用firefox和safari看。没想到在ie6下面怎样都有错误,也不知道是什么错误。
