Topic: Apple Goes McCain On Microsoft With Mocking Attack Ads

[sam]

The advertising war between Apple and Microsoft continues. Apple’s latest TV spots mock Microsoft’s $350 million ad campaign for Windows Vista, suggesting that some of that money would be better spent fixing Vista. The ad is funny (see above), but it does seem petty and elitist. After all, the new Microsoft ads got much better once they dumped Jerry Seinfeld as a spokesperson and went with the everyman “I’m a PC” rallying cry (which itself was a response to Apple’s long-running campaign mocking PCs).

I hope microsoft keeps it up. A little competition is just what the doctor ordered. Besides, lately I've actually found myself disliking apple more than I do ms.
