Apple dropped a new Get a Mac commercial on customers Tuesday night with the introduction of Sad Song. The ad features John Hodgman's PC lamenting Windows Vista's problems in a country-blues ballad to Justin Long's Mac. Sad Song is available in QuickTime format at the Apple Web site.

So many crashes
Are leaving me
About to blow my stack
Apple Mail's got issues
Like screwed up line wrapping
But it's OK cuz it's a Mac
(dog howl)

Generally, I find the Get a Mac ads humorous. Very tongue in cheek.

This one is just way too much on the cornball factor to even be funny.
