Makes a lot more sense that way.
"Steve Jobs might spoil your fun" - you got that right!
This is some aggressive ad xD
The Windows 7 market share outperform the Mac OS X share so easily, so there is nothing to say.
Windows 7 is better and the price of a PC is better than a Mac one.
(and sorry... but also less buggy... yes a Microsoft product with less bugs than a Mac product...)
Can you explain?
Probably very similar people who buy into Apple's campaigns...

haplo, Mac's are for idiots with too much money who want to look cool. Every dollar that goes to Apple products is wasted money that could be going to better use other than lining Job's/Woz's pockets. The profits they are making are completely outrageous and unjustifiable.
Apple should let OSX be installed on any computer legally. It's such a shame that OSX HAS to be run on a Mac.
Windows is strong because, due to its command of the marketplace, much more has been developed for it. It works on many more platforms (though so can Mac OS if you want to make a hackintosh), and it is very good for productivity. Gaming is also better in Windows than Mac.
Both Operating systems are very strong depending on what you're looking for.
This is a very aggressive ad, and I don't believe it to be completely true, as most of it is subjective. I don't really see the point of it to be honest, they are doing something like this "too little, too late."
I realize TH is full of Apple hating PC fanboys, but Apple makes a great product, like it or not. No go ahead and thumbs down my comment, and please do it with a smile.
Nevertheless this BS campaigns are just nonsense. If you want to eradicate your foe don't show their flaws but let the user discovers by their own. Good things grow from mouth to mouth, in it's due time what goes around comes around.
Mac build closed platform/closed hardware/closed world.
If you live in your small world and you want limit your life in a filtered iWorld, your choice.
Bashing Apple ads, so much aggressive, where they look so much intelligent. This is some kind of ads you only do when people think you're a small company trying aggressively to take some part of the market.
Apple Hardware is cool but really fast depreciate. (you need to change your iPhone once a year... 3-4 years for an iMac)
Most "hardcore" iMac software is build at the end by Apple (think about QuickTimes or Final Cut Pro). They block other company like Adobe trying to take part of their iWorld.
In the PC world, you buy from who you want.
In PC world, they are partners.
Not some kind of 90% profit to one company (Apple).
Microsoft is/was considered "Evil"... but the fact they just build few softwares. Flexible softwares working on most hardware. If the hardware is crappy... the OS crash.
I you don't like Microsoft, go for a Free Linux.
In this comparaison, I think Microsoft just talk for the PC world, telling iGeniusWhiteWorld wasn't the best world where you have all the best of the world.
