The point is not that MS spends money on advertising and Apple does not. Obviously Apple DOES spend a lot on adds (though across a ton of products, its not all just mac ads. I see more iphone and Ipod ads then anything else).

The point is that Apple has a quality working current OS that has seen a lot of quality updates since 2000 when it first came out. It has gotten a ton of positive reviews from unbiased sources and is gaining market share at a fast rate (its at least 50-60% of Laptops at University of California San Diego for instance where I go). In fact the OSX share is a little more then half Vista's share. That is quite the change from the 95% 5% XP/OSX split.

Apple HAS obviously put the money and effort into making OSX a quality product, so they can advertise it AS a quality product and not be laughed at.

Microsoft has more or less said implicitly we're just going to let the Vista turd sit there, ignore it as long as we can and try to get Windows 7 out so we can pretend Vista never happened. Vista is the Microsoft version of New Coke and they can't move on soon enough.

Instead of fixing Vista then, they advertise that it's "not that bad". They have made commercial after commercial to that effect as if SAYING it isn't that bad in a commercial is as good as actually making it better. The point in the Apple commercial is that instead of spending nearly a billion dollars between the Mojave/seinfeld/I'm a PC ads they could just spend that money on making a better quality product, which they clearly haven't done (using Vista is just as awful as ever even after SP1, I still get a ton of memory errors and only get access to 2GBs of my 4GBs of RAM plus its not even half as fast as OSX or Linux).

I've discovered a code in Impulsivitys writing.

It said "I had herpes, I got it from the Xbox."

So theres the secret message hes been trying to tell us all this time!

 

 

LOL.
