So, you are seriously saying that there have been more MS ads than Mac ads,
total, over the last two years. Seriously? You are seriously saying that?
I don't see words to that

anyone 'scared to death' and for good reason, there is nothing to be scared
of, just laughed at. Sure the Apple ads are funny, but funny in a
daily/colbert lack of truthiness kind of way.
Either way, money is no measure of
Have you seen the latest two Apple ads? They call
attention to MS's huge budget for enhancing its
image and small budget for fixing its crappy
software.
I've seen them, and they are, as always, funny. But this time the reason
they are funny is that they're so ridiculous. How many Apple ads
The TV commercials I've seen are at about a 1:1 ratio between Apple
and MS. At least I can enjoy and understand the Apple ones. Clever,

Nah. Maybe in the last month or so the ratio has been closer, but I still
see a LOT more Mac ads than MS ads.
