If you thought Microsoft’s laptop hunter ads (1, 2, 3) were catty, check out Apple’s response.

A PC is no bargain when it doesn’t do what you want,” Apple spokesman Bill Evans says. “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

Trading on cool is … cool … Until you get to a global downturn and you have to compete on price … not cool … Suddenly gets you thinking that your 25 billion dollar fighting fund … Might not be such a deep pool … of cool.

Oh my, how precious is she? The music, her ratty style, oh my. It’s all so pretentious. Is this MS’s response to the pretentious mac crowd?

This makes me:

A. A little nauseous

B. Never want to buy a PC

And I love PC’s!!! MS, Please stop with these adds. It was hard enough after the Seinfeld ones.
