Fact checking Apple’s Latest Ads | |
|
||
| Time: 19:20 EST/00:20 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Apple’s latest PC vs. Mac ads would like you to believe Microsoft is spending almost all of its money on advertising instead of improving Windows. Instead of the usual funny jab at Windows Vista, Apple is making accusations as to where Microsoft is spending its money. It’s no secret Microsoft is investing significantly in improving Windows with the upcoming Windows 7 release and Windows Vista SP2 but it’s less clear exactly how much it is spending compared to Apple. Since Apple’s ads are criticizing Microsoft on how much they spend on advertising, how much does Apple spend as well? And how much does that compare to improving their products? | ||

| Gotta love it when Apple (yet again) uses false information... and people around the world believe Apple's TV adverts... sigh... thats a VERY SAD state of affairs. |

| #1: People like to be entertained not educated with commercials. Somehow MS needs to find a way to entertain while showing people how good their products are. The "I'm a PC and I've been made into a stereotype" campaign is pathetic. MS neither educates nor entertains with their baffling commercials. |

#1 V is a flop. Microsoft's solution to the flop was to focus all their efforts on lame advertising that didn't impress anyone other than Lloyd it seems and Windows 7. To that effect, they're not off the mark anywhere near as much as you make them out to be. Plus as bob pointed out - at least it was entertaining :)
#2 And a good jingle helps :) |

| How is Vista a flop? |

| #4: It may not be a flop, but it's certainly no darling in the eyes of the media or consumers. It didn't sell anywhere near as well as XP two years after release, when you factor in the doubling of PC shipments now compared to back then. MS won't even mention its name in any of the commercials. Regardless of how good or bad Vista currently is, the name has been associated with stinkware, just like Windows ME. MS is smart to never mention 'Vista' again and concentrate on Windows 7. |
