In a move that shouldn't surprise anyone, Microsoft has finally started to run an ad that's a direct attack against Apple. Previous marketing campaigns by Microsoft have always more or less ignored Apple, but the company's latest commercial is a direct attack on Apple in a place where it should hurt Apple the most: price.

I'm a Mac user and I have no car, I use the train.
Some Mac user use Mac because of the OS not the actual machine itself. I use OSX because I make music and frankly you will not get a better bang for buck DAW on the market than Logic Studio. Where most oher DAWs cost 700 and up and then nickel and dime you for added features, Logic comes fully packed with absolutely no nickel and diming, and is seen in almost every music studio that isn't a protools house (even the ones that are have Logic if they use Macs and trust me they use Macs).
If you are a movie studio or do film of any sort Final Cut Pro is the software to use and Apple practically gives it away for the power it has.
You see where I'm going here? The hardware, while nice isn't really the draw for mac users, its the icing. OSX and Apple software are the real draw for most people. Personally my Macbook Pro doesn't leave my house so I don't care how sexy the hardware looks, but I do care that there are quality components in it and that they are going to last. I care that Apple is going to give me decent service on my laptop if breaks down on me. Somethin that frankly I have never experienced from any OEM. Usually the service is pretty awful, especially HP.
