The 2009 PC Hit List: Apple's Secret Weapons

I stopped giving a crap about what MacLife had to say a while ago, and the 25 Reasons PC users should shut up made me not care even more.
New Microsoft Ads Emerge
Posted 09/22/2008 at 07:22:36am
LOL I couldn't have said it better myself. Both Macs and Windows offer good features but when in comes in the long run, Windows wins. Let's not forget how completely stupid Mac users can be (the 25 list on Mac life was a complete joke). Not all Mac users are that dumb though which is a good thing.
Personally, I'm happy MS is finally launching ads to compete against the annoying and lame Mac commercials but I think MS could have done it in a better way. I understand their message but they could have written the ads in different way so much more could be taken from it and it could be easier to understand. This is going to be an ongoing war until MS finally launches an OS as amazing as XP was and it stays that way throughout its life, unlike how XP crashed and burned with security problems throughout ITS life. If MS really understands how they borked Vista (though Vista is pretty amazing right now. I'm tired of everyone who automatically claims Vista sucks. If you use and have nothing but problems, you're unlucky as all of MY problems are gone. Thank you, SP1.), then Windows 7 will be really awesome. Of course, MS is MS and the only way to know for sure is to wait.

I bought mine 2 days ago. It's damn fine. I agree, it's size makes you think "WTF!". It's giant. But I have learned to get used to it, even though I have more getting used to it to do. It's scroll wheel is amazing, I can't believe you find fault with it. Did you possibly get yours too stiff? Meh, I was waiting for your review and I'm disappointed in it's score. I love mine. It just makes me sad to see you guys didn't get along with yours. I still have 28 days to return if I find fault with it on my part. I doubt that will happen.
On Verdict Scales

I like the idea of a 1-5 scale. It certainly gives you more of a feel of how good or bad a product is, sicne 1-10 in my opinion leaves to many questions on whether it is a good idea to buy that product or not. I personally have been a fan of the 1-5 scale. Just make sure you keep the Kick Ass Award!
