Microsoft Switcher Ads: Part 2

burgburgburg writes "We all recall Microsoft's last attempt to emulate the Apple Switch ads. Well, it seems they're at it again. MacNN reports that Microsoft has sent out emails to those who have recently registered MS products, looking for candidates for their 'Sensible Solutions' campaign, which will 'highlight computer professionals that have recently converted from Apple Computer products to Microsoft based systems.' Do you qualify? You must be 'a US resident with a minimum of 3 years experience as a computer professional. You must have used an Apple Computer product and a Microsoft based system as part of your work'. So when does it just stop being the sincerest form of flattery and just become utter, pathetic laziness?"

    heh, i like my computer....and it's not a MAC. Mac's just look...too..welll, too much like a bad art student project. Like it's trying to be hip and slick by imatating pulp fiction. I like my computers, I painted two of them blue, I personalised them, MOD'd them with my own hands, gave them names, and each one tends to run a diffrent OS. They are like people to me, and I'm quite sure if I( had a MAC, it would become a sort of "retarded little brother" to the PC's. Not because of speed, or power, but because of the shell. I hate the shell designs.
