Microsoft advertised Vista to small businesses in The Wall Street Journal and USA Today the last two weeks, and plans a much larger wave of ads under the tagline "Free the People." Brooks gave a taste of what's coming with a few swipes at Apple and some selected highlights of Windows Vista's features. www.informationweek.com |

| 686994 | 2008-07-09 22:44:00 | In recent articles, with King Bill Gates leaving the helm, there has always been mention about Apple's PC vs Mac ads, which have destroyed Microsoft's brand. Steve Ballmer said he is going to change that, starting with a massive advertising campaign. I'm looking forward to seeing them, I hate what Apple represents; everyone thinks they are 'hip and cool', but they are closed off and proprietary. Everything Appl is made by Apple, which is why they always work. This makes them better than a PC, but so much worse. :p |
