Default Apple Gives Microsoft the Smack Down Over Ads, Sortof

http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2...-overpriced.ars

"Apple is unfazed by Microsoft's recent attempts to make Macs out to be a bad value. "A PC is no bargain when it doesn't do what you want," Apple spokesman Bill Evans recently told BusinessWeek. "The one thing that both Apple and Microsoft can agree on is that everyone thinks the Mac is cool. With its great designs and advanced software, nothing matches it at any price."

Ouch. About time they said something. These ads aren't exactly great, and the information presented in them is misleading to say the least. But that is the nature of advertising, and anything goes for the most part. Regardless, I would think that Microsoft with all it's money could pay someone to come up with at least one ad that was decent. Of course this is just my opinion, so I'll go back to my overpriced (but non-gold plated) MBP and continue surfing.
