Microsoft against the world
Microsoft is continuing with its advertising campaign against Apple and there is a lot of commentary about it in the blogosphere. Depending on the personal prejudices of the author, the commentary concludes that the ads are either backfiring against Microsoft or hitting Apple hard enough to hurt.
Actually, like most ads, the Microsoft efforts are not devoted to truth or facts and are misleading. They are simply the continuation of the standard Microsoft way of dealing with competitors- badmouthing them. For example, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer seems to spend a lot of his time going around trash-talking about those others out there- Linux one day, Apple the next, followed by Google. What is interesting is how little time Microsoft advertising devotes to telling us what the virtues of Windows might be.
