Pretending To Be Something You’re Not

Mark this under the very funny … Microsoft released this television ad a few days ago:


It’s a direct response to the “I’m a Mac / I’m a PC” ads that Apple produces.

Here’s the funny part. The Microsoft ad was created on a Mac! According to Apple Insider, meta data found in the images shows that it was created using Adobe Creative Suite 3 running on a Mac computer.

It’s okay, Microsoft, you’re allowed to use a real computer too!

    There is no argument here ( yeah believe it or not) that Mac is the leader in graphical presentations and apparently ease of use( never having tried a Mac personally). I am a PC user and just like I don’t like attack ads in politics I don’t think they have any place in advertising. Make your best product, advertise it’s features, and let the customer decide what he wants.
