Remember how wonderful everyone thought the “Windows-to-Mac” TV ads from Apple were in the summer? You remember, stories of real people telling their real stories about how a $50 OEM copy Windows on their $999 Dell Inspiron ruined their lives until a $99 copy of OS X installed on their $1,799 iBook offered a kind of salvation previously only available for those baptized in the River Jordan? Well, Microsoft posted an ad about a real person doing a “Mac-to-Windows” switch last week that German-owned tech news website CNET News.com says is phony and paid for by Microsoft marketing.
