Do you think microsoft should do somthing to strike back at Apples ridicoulas commercials?  Personally i  dont like Microsoft exept for Windows XP but i like them better then Apple. Those commercials have no facts, its all silly acting trying to make PC look bad.

It's better to ignore your enemies, rather than lower yourself to their level.

I own a Mac. It's hard to put my finger on the exact reason why Mac OS X is better than Windows... Maybe it's the fact that it actually works.

I like the ad about Mac not getting viruses. It's cos there aren't that many people that own them so it'd be a waste of time trying to destroy them

MAC is prity bad. The only use for it is editing, it runs about 3 games and you cant upgrade it, you gota buy a new 1 every time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3DCUXswung   And Windows kinda owns MAC OS X ,  and  Hundreds of million people using it kinda beats the low ammount of ppl on MAC

I buy Windows because it is easier for me and I enjoy using it more then I would a Mac, I enjoy the compatibility of Windows with programs on the web, that is why I buy windows. "People buy Macs just to be different from everybody else"......See I can be an ignorant fool too.

nah, there's no reason for MS to need to strike back at apple.

It would be like the US attacking Venezuela cause Hugo called GW the devil.

As I tell my friends I'm too smart to use a Mac, but too stupid to use Linux therefore I'm stuck with windows.

Also the only reason PCs tend to break down is because people who don't know what they are doing try to get free porn off the internet and end up with a bunch of viruses.

How many people even realise the advantages you just mentioned? Most people haven't got a clue why Windows is supposedly better.

Indeed, when you control over 90% of the OS market...  you do not need counter commercials.
