Thanks to the depth of coverage given to Microsoft's "Windows, Not Walls" advertising campaign, Apple has come forward with its own ads addressing the palaver.

| Speaking of which, whatever happened to the big $300 million ad campaign? It seems to have died a quiet death. |

Microsoft is thinking of taking Apple's advice.
They plan to retroactively charge 129$ for Vista SP1 and XP Sp3. They think Vista SP2 will also cost 129$. And Vista or XP on a laptop will probably cost 479$. All that extra money will go to Steve in backdated options. (Ballmer that is) |

| #2: That's funny and all, but seriously, where is the $300 million? Where are the ads? It's strikingly funny that Apple responds to an ad campaign that MS has already given up on. |

| @3, not just funny, or ironic, but strikingly funny - that is some ad |

I think Microsoft mentioning the V word, Victory, would just be kind of crass. I mean, Apple's dismal ability to get people to buy their computers is legion. Just this quarter, announced today, they sold a little over two million computers. That's what? About a day's worth of computers sold with Windows installed on them. Hello? Maybe crapple ought to stop trying to denigrate their betters and concentrate on putting out a product that people will actually buy.
Meanwhile, I have to maintain a couple of friggin iMacs. The pre-Intel based one has been in the shop three times and the more recent one we had to shell out $129 to get what was equivalent of a service pack for it a couple of months ago. The latter is glacier like and the former is OK, but hey who cares. It hardly runs anything. And, isn't that the point of an OS? |
