Apple calls MS.

How dumb.

Apple was having their own laughs with those "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" commercials and now they're bitching when Microsoft rolls out something to counter that?

Tell your marketing team to get back to work.

If it's true, I'm impressed. A marketing campaign Microsoft finally got right (note, not an Apple fan/zealot, but you have to admit most of Microsoft's marketing just plain sucks - Bing? for example)
 
I think he is lying about that. Why in the hell would Apple bitch when they have their Mac/PC commercials
 
Microsoft really doesn't need commercials to compete with Apple. That said, I did like the Laptop Hunters ads (I like the Mac ads, too).
Apple's legal dept complaining about the claimed price in MS commercial versus the actual price after the price drop seems a bit petty. If it were a huge difference, yeah, I could see them taking issue with MS making false claims. What both companies really need to do is just play to their strengths and develop better products. No one wants to see the bickering take on a political or legal face.

I dunno, I was a bit distracted by her tits and didn't really pay any attention to the commercial... 😱

That's one way to lure customers.

She should be on MILF hunters, not laptop hunters.

I have yet to hear anyone complain about the Bing commercials, in fact I don't remember hearing people comment so much about commercials (and in my experience entirely positive) in a very long time. They might not work for tech savvy people, but they seem to be working well on the general consumer.
 
the commercials are retarded, if they approached me and gave me money to buy a laptop I'd get a Mac. Only reason I don't own one is they cost too much. If it was bought on somebodies else dime the story would be different. I know that commercial wouldn't be aired, but I somehow think I wouldn't even get to keep the Macbook lol.

if they cost less, I would be a Mac dude, due to them costing so much more than a PC, I'm a Windows dude. It's not due to lack of software support, actually the one program I really wish I had is Mac only.

That's the fucking point. They go in with a budget, and the macs are above budget. You'd fit right into what they are looking for.
