Ya, I hate that Mac guy too. Really annoying, especially in Accepted.

Plus, the commercials are total BS.

I dont see why this is news.
He is personally as rich as the Apple Corporation, which is his biggest competitor.
Wouldnt it make sense for him to own as much as possible?
"Keep your enemies closer" and all that stuff.

A linux geek can make an intelligent argument once in a while.

Yep, MS bought $150 million in Apple stock sometime in 97.

There's a handful of them in my computer class. They just do nothing but look at the newest apple anything, talk about it, and watch those commercials over and over. They have that annoying persona to match with it too.

Funny, they all kind of look the same too.

something like that. it amazes me that people don't realize how much of a stake bill gates has in apple. thats why at the end of Pirates of Silicon Valley, it ends with apple conceding power to microsoft.

I've never understood why people hate those Mac ads so much. I thought PC people gave up on hating Apple years ago when their market share became inconsequential.

They don't like the smug.

I have 2 " mackies" @ work as well, they just consider anything x86 based as computing
for the masses and the Mac as computing for the " enlightened". Like were all driving
chevy's and they've got Volvos...makes me want to gringe.

It's more than smug. The commercials are almost insulting. You have to feel sorry for all the schmucks who fall for those ads and purchase their over-priced iProducts.

Microsoft invested $150 million in Apple to avoid patent lawsuits.

Somehow I think that's what they want you to think. I will stick to using my mad sexy powers to score the babes and leave them guessing as to my computer specs, lol.

Microsoft should've said screw it. They had the money to drag it out. Maybe Bill Gates didn't feel like giving the money to lawyers and figured they can make some money.
