And I've never seen Micosoft slag off Apple in their Ads. In the UK the ads use two popular comedians from a series called Peep show, in which the person playing the PC has a Job and is reliable, and the person playing the Mac is a 'musician', has no real job, is unreliable, takes Drugs and sponges of the person who plays the pc. Quite ironic, although It does fit in with the stereotype of a mac user....... Doubt it somehow, I’ve seen a lot more Mac ads than Microsoft ads.
