This also from CNN about Mac ramping up it's attacks on Microsoft's Vista:
SAN JOSE, California (AP) -- For nearly a year, television and Internet audiences have been seeing a familiar string of ads from Apple Inc. attacking rival Windows-based computers. With this week's release of Windows Vista, the newest jabs aren't any friendlier.
In one ad, the character personifying the PC is dressed in hospital patient garb, talking about how he's set to undergo major surgery to upgrade to Vista. He then saunters off, telling the Mac character that if he doesn't come back, Mac can have his peripherals.
In another ad, a man pretending to be the Mac character heaps praises for the PC -- until the real Mac character steps in, confounded, asking "What's going on?" The fake Mac replies, "Nothing," and then mutters "I'm a fan" as he walks away.
On its own Web site, Apple Inc. tells visitors to get a Mac, stating, "Why upgrade to Vista when you can upgrade past it?"
I admit I am a windows person, even though I did buy my first Mac this year, and I'm still learning the Mac, though I have to be honest, I do spend more time on my pc just because it's easiest for me since that's what I am most comfortable with. I'm a creature of habit, which is why rather than type this on my brand new dell laptop or on the new mini Mac, I'm sitting here at my almost five year old Vaio...
