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.

100% agree with you - too bad someone immature thought it would be his duty to abuse the moderation system and repress another persons opinion.
I wish people took your approach and viewed the purchase of a computer as more than just purchasing hardware; you are purchasing a system which includes hardware and software. The experience one has is the sum of all the parts; not just the hardware, not just the software but the whole widget.
Too bad that so many here have a hardware fixation fetish where they focus all their criticisms on the hardware whilst ignoring that people purchase systems - not hardware.

Too bad some people are determined to buy exclusively from one company.
I am a Mac owner because I am determined to make my life easier, by just buying a better OS, and the hardware is comes with (which is nice too).
Linux is fun, I love it. I install Linux OSes non-stop, but just to play. No distro 'just works' (at least on my hardware, which is all that matters to me), although Ubuntu is close.
Windows is a non-stop maintenance headache. I've finally rid my house of every Windows PC, and now I can relax.
I use my Mac when I just want to work, with no fun/tinkering and no problems.
