Apple released an ad teasing the global Windows crash last year. 🚨

Apple has released a new video ad in the series The Underdogs that this time picks up the "Blue Screen of Death," or Windows' classic blue screen, in parody, based on the global crash of the CrowdStrike Falcon software in 2024, with the simple sentence "There's no security like Mac security."

.

In the advertisement, "The Underdogs" team was about to launch the product at Container Con, but the Windows machine was extinguished at the same time, causing the event to almost crash, so that Apple employees had to come to the rescue with the Mac mini chip M4 and be able to recover the situation in time before ending with a sentence conveying the security of the macOS system, "No system is as safe as the Mac."

.

The ad was inspired by a real event in July 2024 in which the CrowdStrike software released a Kernel-level mis-update, causing over 8.5 million Windows machines worldwide to take to the sky screen, while the macOS side was not affected at all because Apple's systems tightly restricted deep-level access rights.

.

Apple took the opportunity to emphasize the safety and stability of macOS that does not rely on external add-ons. Unlike Windows, which still relies on system settings and multi-step updates, the advertisement also promotes the new Mac mini, the M4 chip, with a "small but strong, secure, immediately available" image. The initial version is priced at around 20,900 baht.

.

In the end, despite how strong Apple is, it must be recognized that both macOS and Windows have their own strengths. The Mac side is safe and stable, suitable for creative work. Windows is also the favorite of the game line, and people who need flexibility to customize the system, so they conclude that each side has a different highlight.
