Microsoft Loves Macs!

Can you believe this? Can you imagine it? I would really like to see you-know-who's face when he finds out they got caught! No matter how strange it may seem, Microsoft loves Macs, since the latest ad released as a part of their advertising assault was edited using Apple computers. No, this is not a joke, and to make it all even more ridiculous, the ad is about "being a PC!" Now, this is something delicious to see happening, especially since there's a full Sunday waiting for us to spend laughing...

"I AM A PC AND I LOVE THIS COMPANY!!!" blows Steve Ballmer off the wall swarming with people saying, basically, about the same - "I am a PC and I do something." Sure you love the company, I guess you also earn in an hour more than most of us do in a month, but I have no problem with that, since the point is that Microsoft is going waaaay off with this whole thing, especially since they must add one new character now, saying "I am a PC and I use Mac OS!"

OK, so this is the story - a Flickr user, LuisDS, discovered that an early edition of the images here - at least the first one, as far as I am concerned, had metadata saying "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Macintosh." Unfortunately, it's obvious Microsoft fixed the error since the first report of the fact appeared online, since now all the print size pictures on the page I mentioned show "Adobe Photoshop CS3 Windows" in their metadata.

Well, this is it, guys. One more for the show! At least this advertising campaign from Microsoft gives us a lot of reasons to have fun, although not quite what they expected. If you ask me, the world would appreciate more to give the remaining money out of those 300 millions to the poor, rather than continue to make fools of yourselves and those who are willing to join this interactive campaign.

"I am a PC and I sing in the shower." Yeah, right. I would laugh my ass off to see a testimony saying the following - "I am a PC and I am installing Ubuntu right now!"
