But they did an un-apple thing and started to actively put ALL pc users into certain boxes, which is the kind of stereotyping you'd expect from MS.<BR/>And for once MS were clever enough to look at Apple and reply with something that actually showed up Apple's thinking as being (a little) patronising and insulting.<BR/><BR/>But Microsoft don't need to sell their USP all the time. You know what they do and how you use it; they needed to do something to stop Apple looking like the better choice for computers (which it is, but thats besides the point).<BR/><BR/>As for the Seinfeld ads, well they didn't work out particularly; but they did at least show people that this uber-godzilla like organisation was starting to listen to the bad things people said about it, willing to stop taking itself quite so seriously.<BR/><BR/>I know you are biased George, and I don't think its a clear victory by any means; but they have managed to put a couple of scratched onto the clean veneer of Apple. And as any ipod owner knows... they never come out.Rob Mortimer (aka Famous Rob)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10070962082242558718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10861841.post-84083820841931101272009-01-12T04:22:00.000+00:002009-01-12T04:22:00.000+00:00"one that actually makes Apple look a little like ..."one that actually makes Apple look a little like the bad guy" <BR/><BR/>Eh..for what? Pointing out the obvious flaws with their competitors product in a clever, well executed series of long running adds? And MS counter with what? First they spunk a shed on some unintelligent gibberish which they immediately pull because they don't even have the courage of their convictions then replace that by apping apple's line while whining "I'm a PC and I wear glasses" way to sell a USP. Not!Dodfaefifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299425218025842679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10861841.post-39228028469987441962008-12-20T06:28:00.000+00:002008-12-20T06:28:00.000+00:00Really liking these wrap ups.
