As a matter of fact, I have.  It's the one where Greg the dad has to 
print his young daughter's report and he switched because the windows 
computer didn't communicate well with the printer!!

As a side note on the "switcher" ads, I was very sad and angry to learn 
that Apple has used "actors" in these ads.  In other words, they're 
really NOT real people who use Macs or who have switched at all.  This is 
BAD Apple, very BAD.  There goes your credibility right out the window 
(no pun intended).  Full story about this fakery can be found in the 
archives at Insanely Great Mac who first reported the story...

I think what Apple should have done instead of employing these fake 
"switchers" is to show REAL people who use Macs and WHY they use them.  
Even throw in some noteables we know for sure who use Macs like Sinbad, 
Richard Dryfuss, John Leonard (from CBS News), Tom Clancy, Hans Zimmer 
(composer), etc. etc.  There's simply no need to use fakers when so many 
real people use Macs.
