    Finally Microsoft stood up and is making direct hits on Apple with counter-bashing ads.

    First ad

    Second ad

    Personally, I like that they are doing this. But they're doing it totally wrong imho.

    It's more like an ad for Apple.

    Apple's ads take charge and bash everything that Windows users hate -- and it works.

    Here M$ just says "I'm not cool enough for a Mac".

    Instead, they could've just said something like "Paying $2k for an underpowered PC that won't run any of my apps?"

    Or "What's the point of that videocard if you can't run your games on it?"

    Anything. But not just casual "Oh yeah, we know Macs are great, we're just too lame for them!"

    I know Microsoft has never been good with marketing, but jes..
