New Microsoft Ad Takes Another Shot at Apple

Looks like Microsoft’s marketing campaign taking shots at again.  I really doubt its working.

“Macs to me is really only about aesthetics more than computing power.”

Being an Apple Fanboy, Mac’s are about sexyness and being user-friendly.  They have as much computing power as that crappy-ass HP you bought and you can run almost any OS on it. Also, it’s easy to buy a PC laptop when someone is buying it for you.  I mean heck, I’d buy a PC laptop if someone handed me straight cash after I bought it.

Congratulations, Giampaolo.  You’re a PC and a hired actor that might have received an HP laptop.

(Yes. I understand I’m going to get flamed for this.)

    They do make (or try too) valid points:

    1. Macs are expensive, you’re paying a premium because they prevent competition by sourcing their own hardware.

    2. Macs tends to be underspec’d.

    Both of these came through in the ad in a realatively confused manner. Point 2 only matters if you’re paying money for higher specs than PCs give you anyway. They didn’t address the ability to customize at all, which I found weird.
