It was a good ad. But also, Mac OS X at the time was so vastly and obviously ahead of Windows, it was a very natural choice if your circumstances allowed it (IMHO etc). It really really didn‘t break Microsoft. They were, and are still, more than fine.

30 seconds in and you can already tell this isn't worth watching. Apple didn't steal 42% of PC market share, their market share increased 42% (and I'm just assuming the 42% is correct) which means it went to like 3%
