Apple vs. Microsoft Vista: The Ad Budget Wars

I dont think that hypocrisy is a useful term. Even if Apple were being 'hypocritical', their ads are superior by far, so at least the cash is being spent well.
Apple's products seem to work well, and are increasingly popular, so I cant see a problem there, either.

Microsoft has bad ads (very bad) and a legacy OS that is increasingly bloated and dysfunctional.

Apple therefore is NOT guilty of hypocrisy; but Microsoft still has bad product and bad advertising.

Five Reasons Steve Ballmer Thinks Apple's a Buy

Apple isnt a 'snob' company - it simply sells good equipment and software. Always has, even when some Idiots were in control. (Sculley etc.)
Fact is, an Apple Macbook costs $1049, which is maybe $300 more than a crappy Windows laptop. Thing is, you get great FREE software with it, and way more functionality and ease of use.

College kids are buying these things and NOT buying Windows laptops.

Microsoft should support Apple and sell them lots of cheap copies of Windows, which, of course, you can ALSO run on a Mac.

In life, the tides turn, and Microsoft need Apple far more than Apple needs Microsoft.

Stock will eventually hit $250, its stuck at $170 or so, but then it did just have ten years of massive growth.

Microsoft: Determined To Be Touchable

Maybe they should fix Vista before they start with the 'windows 7' vapourware nonsense.
The Surface? Are you crazy? You mean the Big Ass Table that costs $10,000 and is utterly USELESS?

If you think that Microsoft will ever get anything 'right', I have a bridge I would like to sell you......

What It Would Take To Fix Microsoft For Me

Break it up, force it to become competitive in ALL areas -right now Word and Windows supports such innovative wonder products as the Zune, a recycled old Mp3 player from Toshiba which is a copy of an old iPod.

How can Ballmer remain in his job when Msoft loses billions through all their 'ventures' and somehow thats OK?

Hey Microsoft, I've Got A Better Idea

Microsoft are doomed to decline, albeit slowly.
They are incapable of doing anything new.

Its important to remember that M$ were successful when computing was new - now that its a mature market, their Windows OS is exposed as a giant hack.

Although they are still making billions every year, they are also losing billions on EVERY product except Office and Windows.

Ballmer is a ridiculous figure as a CEO - they need to find someone much younger, who can think clearly, but they wont do that.

They just cant change. Thats why they are doomed.

Microsoft: Big and Rich, but Increasingly Toothless

Microsoft is in decline - this stupid yahoo deal will only accelerate that.
Its a slow decline, but still a decline.
How much longer can they lose billions a year on crap like zune and xbox?

Defending Apple's MacBook Air

If you think that a Dell laptop is cool - I urge you to buy one! LOL!
Customer service? I know a friend who sent his Dell back 5 times before it worked.
C;unky crap.
Shouldnt be mwntioned in the same space as the smooth and excellent Mac OSX and Macbook laptops, from the cheap Macbook to the 17" High level MacBook Pro which was rated as the fastest laptop to run Windows - LOL!

The Mac has them all beat - just accept it.
