Default "Laptop Hunters" Agency is Mostly Macs... Duh...

"Here's something that should get Mac fan boys foaming at the mouth. Pictured above is the office of Alex Bogusky, the brains behind Microsoft's new Laptop Hunter commercials. Sure enough, those are two MacBook Pros sitting on his desk."

Sure this doesn't say a whole lot.  I mean, I'm sure there are companies that produce ads for Honda that have employees driving around Dodges.  It's just really funny that the company making one of the most hated strings of ads ever is using a product they make a point of bashing in each and every one of them.

I've always thought Microsoft was missing a huge opportunity with these stupid ads, and that's the opportunity to show that the ad itself was made on a Windows PC.  If you go to any site created with Apple's iWeb, you see a "Made on a Mac" logo on the bottom of it.  Microsoft should've employed a company using Windows for their ads, and made a huge deal about how the ads were made on Windows PCs.  If nothing else, it would provide some fodder for the Windows folks who insist that everything done on a Mac can be done on a PC.  They could've even hired Sheila!  I hear she wanted a laptop that could cut video and that's what she got at Fry's...
