That's true, but as you said, Apple is very careful in phrasing their criticisms. Microsoft's flaws are drawn out from comparisons, not explicitly stated by Apple's guy (I don't know the actor's name). The viewer then makes the predetermined conclusion on "independently".
It's a crafty technique put to good use by Apple's marketing department. Whether it's something a small startup could use to put a dent in a market goliath, I'm not so sure.
- joechung 17y agoThe actor who plays the Apple guy is Justin Long.
- sili 17y agoThey are also careful to say PC not Microsoft even though everyone understands what they mean.
- rythie 17y agoYes, and it's annoying. My PC runs Linux and virtually nothing Apple says in those adverts applies to Linux.
- DrJokepu 17y agoAnd it's not even honest given that ever since they abandoned PowerPC, Macs are pretty much the same as any other gereric x64, except that they're perhaps better designed than Dells or HPs and that they ship it with their own custom OS (which is a lot of difference from a user's perspective but still not quite honest in my opinion).
