MS should retaliate with their own legal team against Apple adds about Vista and PC in general.

Apple is just a over spoiled sour grape.

How can Apple, of all companies, get upset about inaccurate advertising?

I have used most Operating Systems that are out today (Want to try Solaris someday). Ubuntu being probably my favorite right up there with Windows 7. Not a fan of Microsoft, but I find 7 more comfortable and it just simply flows better. (Boots faster too) And in all honesty, i've used Mac back when they came out with those super colorful iMac's  and the iBook's, which were decent, I'll admit that, and as for MacBook Pro, it's nothing short of overpriced, and overhyped. It is somewhat easy, if you're not used to Windows, however, OS X is hard or irritating if you're used to Windows. Windows is irritating to Mac users, but they're required to know both because let's face it...mac is flashy, basically all there is to it. They try to look artsy an flashy, the mac selling point is you pay for aesthetics. The os is built from open source technology. I don't like or hate windows or mac, but I'm not a fan neither. This "feud" between what one is better, is complete shit. They're pretty balanced depending on what you want to do. Windows works for offices, most networks, gaming and media center setups (using a ps3 or xbox as well for this task) while Mac is useful for people who like IM, internet browsing, and some music editing.

I don't like Microsoft, I associate with it.

Umm. The apple adds use the term 'Vista.'

Anyways, Microsoft is a pussy imo now. They let Apple talk shit in all of their adds, then apple does a pricecut and Pussysoft has to change the add. They should have at least let it go to court, so that they could point out that Apple was hurt by the add.

Actually i dont think you can use somebodys name and likeness with out there permission. You see the mac ads where not about microsoft/windows they were about "mac" and "PC". Of course mac can use its own name and technically PC is a acronim for personal computer.

So wait, you make an ad in November that says our product is X and our competitor's product is Y, you then have go back and re-do your ad if the competitor changes their price to Y-100? I don't think that's the way it's supposed to work. At worst, all MS should have to do is put a disclaimer on the ad stating that those were the prices at the time the ad was created.

You may get more value from DIY pcs but you can't go out and buy laptop parts and build one (other than the arguably failed OCZ DIY laptop).

Apple starts losing sales and Microsoft sees increasing profit-even if it's a very small % and Apple has to go "Oh, hey your ad is wrong we dropped our price by $100, so take it down". I wish more people realized that you can get better price/performance out of DIY PCs.

I have used a MAC, I have used a PC. Windows is not that difficult to maintain. I'm not a fanboy, not for anything that comes my way. It's just sad that Apple did this.
