Only in the eyes to MS? Maybe you forgot those years worth of apple vs pc ads apple put out? I don't recall MS or pc users sputtering about with each one of those. Then after years, MS puts out an ad and the macheads go nutball over it. To apple they HAVE to be complimentary, but make no mistake, Apple wants some of that 97% market MS has.
Those Apple ads were hardware ads for PPCs. I don't think Apple wants 97% of the hardware market. They can't produce that much product, and they don't want to lower quality to please everybody, anyway.
The difference between the Mac ads and the PC ads are obvious when you consider the "Lauren" ad where she said she looked at Macs, but never bothered to go into the Apple store long enough to look at anything. OTOH, the Apple PPC ads were exaggerated, but their comparisons were based on benchmark tests, not actors pretending to be "real" people as in the MS ads.
