It was OK
The ID made me laugh. Not being a Seinfeld fan, I'll assume there were other jokes that I just didn't get.

The Apple ads tell you as much about OSX as this did about Windows, but this ad wasn't just FUD and lies. So that is a plus.

It will depend on how the story unfolds as the ads go on. I really hope they can poke some fun at themselves.
