  Samsung's Fake Real People vs. Microsoft's Real Fake People
Time: 09:09 EST/14:09 GMT | News Source: PC World | Posted By: Andi Stabryla

AppleInsider's Daniel Eran Dilger has posted a follow-up to my story of Samsung's "true-life" Galaxy Tab fans who happen to be actors. To put things in perspective, he mentions Lauren, the star of a 2009 Microsoft "real person" ad who also had acting experience. (To be fair to Microsoft, the same ad campaign included other ads with non-thespian real people.) He also goes way back to a 2002 item on Microsoft's site that seemed to be a true-life story of a Mac user being lured to Windows XP, but was really done by a freelance writer and illustrated with a stock photo.
