Apple has uploaded a video on YouTube to mock Windows. It is related to last year's CrowdStrike fiasco that took down millions of PCs worldwide.
The 8-minute-long video focuses on The Underdogs, with the same cast that debuted in the comedy short films from about 6 years ago. This time, the fictional sales team heads to Container Con, to land a huge deal. Things don't exactly go well for them initially, but then turns really wacky. Despite the video's theme primarily focusing on the BSOD issue, Apple managed to pretty much showcase many features across its devices, from Apple Watch, iPhone, and of course, Mac. It is a commercial for Mac, after all.
If you have 8 minutes to spare. Watch The Underdogs: BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) video, on Apple's YouTube channel.
I should warn you, the video is pretty silly, maybe a little cringy. I mean, you see worse things on YouTube, TikTok, etc. It's not as bad as those, especially the part where they explain about Mac's security, and simultaneously mock Windows' kernel level access to programs.
Apple wants you to switch to Mac. The timing is definitely curious, because Windows 10 reaches end of support in exactly a week. I'm not saying that is Apple is expecting people to buy a Mac. But a lot of people with outdated computers may be interested in buying a new computer. Would you buy a Mac, though? They are good computers, but Macs aren't really affordable.
You could of course consider switching to Linux, and save some money. Take a look at Linux Mint, I've been using it as my primary OS (alongside a Mac) for about 85 days now, including gaming. There's also Debian, Fedora, Ubuntu, Bazzite, CachyOS, etc. There are a lot of distros, the choice is yours, they are all free, and will likely run just fine on your old computer that can't be upgraded to Windows 11.
