that's probably not a Microsoft employee; probably a company that they outsourced to do the design and branding for the xbox. still interesting none-the-less.

It's not really that surprising... Microsoft plays a huge role in Apple's company.....

Bill owns a great deal of shares in Apple. Although they are non-controlling (I believe), he's still making money off them...

Development for the Xbox is done on the Xbox developer's kit. Which looks just like an xbox except it has a transparent case. Some Mactards need to get a clue before jumping to conclusions.

Besides, even if a Mac were used to develop for the Xbox, it doesn't mean a damn thing. Mac is still overpriced and limited in software choices. And it is still intended for the weakminded that can't figure out a PC.

Have you seen the latest Mac commercials? "I couldn't figure out how to connect a camera to the PC, and i couldn't find anyone who knew how to do it, someone even told me that's hollywood stuff" bwahhahah! tards.

That one is hilarious...when she goes "AAAAANNNNGGGGG". I used to think that these were just people paid a lot of money to make complete fools of themselves, but then I started working at a place with one Mac person, and I realized that this is how they truly are. Our Mac guy (who incidentially must use a PC to do his job as they won't let him use a Mac) just turned down getting a brand-new fully-loaded Dell Latitiude C840, because his 3-year-old Gateway was "fine". In reality, it's not an iBook, so he can't figure out how to use it.

I love the one about the digital camera. The guy goes, "I didn't know how to connect it to my PC or which wire I had to use". But when I got my Mac I just plugged it in and it works. Hmm... so you didn't know which wire to use when you had your PC but now that you have the Mac you know which wire to use??? Man these commercials are getting worse and worse, and really giving Apple a bad name.

Hehehe you're so right! I used to be a mac user about 5 years ago, and some of my family still uses them (even though I'm trying to convince them to come to the "dark side"). I see these commercials now and moan, laugh, and shake my head in disbelief of the stupitidy - these commercials make no sense. They try to talk about the simplicity, when windows XP is pretty much as idiot-proof as Mac OS-9 or X.

Another similar one is like "Betty saves christmas" or some other name in there and she says how she couldn't get it working on the PC because they couldnt find the driver, but on the Mac it just worked. The only time I can see that would happen is if the PC users uses Win 95/98 or some other older OS and the Mac user uses a new Mac, which still doesnt make any good sense. A new Mac or new PC both have plug-n-play OSes!
