Pot calling the kettle black? Seriously, what right does Apple have to say Microsoft spends too much on advertising?
Typical Microsoft commercial: "Look at all these people, companies and groups who succeed with Microsoft Windows"
Apple's Rebuttal: LOL LOOK AT ALL THAT MONEY YOU SPEND! MINE USES PICTURES LOL! |
All I can say is that I "look-forward" to each new Apple commercial, and I "fast-forward" through the Microsoft commercials as fast as I can reach the remote.
I find the Apple commercials clever and fun; with an on-target message embedded in each one. Microsoft's commercials seem to be targeting demographics that don't include me.
Time will tell...
