cnn had one on their page where along the top of the page is a sign that says "Don't give up on vista" with a wire leading down to the main mac vs pc

PC is holding a box with a button on it connected to the LED sign.


PC hits the button - Give up lights up.

He hits it again, ON vista lights up, while give up turns of.

back and forth..

finally "GIVE UP ON VISTA" lights up - They have some very creative coming up with this ads...

Microsoft don't make PC vs Mac ads because they know Apple sucks and therefore need to control the computer audience via TV!

Don't take this seriously lol - I haven't used a Mac before so I dunno...

i seen them as will, but you have to keep in mind like PC you can upgrade hardware like a newer or more powerful video card (for sample) mac your stuck with what you have as in hardware.

like a build in web cam you can't upgrade it your stuck with it, anyways i heard you can't upgrade hardware for MAC, but each their own.


ads are funny specialy when it true to a point, but then again they don't tell you what is bad about MAC ether! all have their own draw back to them.

Windows get hit with Virus all the time why you ask? there more of them then a mac goes. if there was 200 million mac in the world there be hackers making up virus for Mac as will.

sad fact cover more base's you go after the larger base of system you have more of a chance to get something out of it.

And speaking about viruses, I seriously hate it when noobs blame Microsoft for making Windows so vulernable to viruses.

It's self-explanatory - MICROSOFT provide the OS - YOU have to provide the ANTI-VIRUS. It's that simple.

It is partly microsofts fault - They should be working harder to make sure there isn't any exploits to be found.

OS's like linux have dozens if not hundereds of people looking through the source code - things get found and fixed before they are a problem.

Can't do that with microsoft's stuff.
