New Apple Campaign Target PC Flaws

sodul writes"Apple just started a new campaign to emphasize the advantages of Mac versus a regular tasteless PC. The ads represent a young cool looking man (Mac) and a white collar in his 40's (not cool, PC). In one of the ads the PC repeat itself several times because it had to reboot. In an other one (and maybe the most aggressive of all) PC is sick because of a virus, while Mac is healthy. You can watch the new spots on Apple's site "

Do you Smug Mac Guys ever consider that it conceivably possible that Microsoft thought up something that simply works better than what Apple thought up? Rather than consider criticism it seems like most of you turn into flaming assholes and repel people away from your beloved computer.

Well here it is from a long time Mac user: Apple's program launching process is largely a relic of 400K Floppy Drives, and I'm not conviced it has scaled well to modern systems. They never really re-thought the process, it's just "the way it's always been done". The original Mac did have a "Start" function. You stuck a floppy into a drive and a window popped up with the program icons. When they switched to hard drives, that simplicity was lost.

Just on a superficial level, which looks easier:
