Windows Microsoft's "You find it, you keep it" campaign, which directly attacks Apple, has seen another instalment. The first one, with Lauren criticising Apple for its pricing policy and lack of choice, was met with mixed reviews, and I'm sure the second one will not be received any differently. Giampaolo disses Apple for a lack of power and being all about aesthetics.

They do have the same computing power but it's usually always more expensive than the cheapest PC with the exact same specs. At least that's true for low end machines.

This won't definitely sway me away from macs but it's a viale argument when you factor cost in. Think about the specs of a mac mini. Any PC is better than that and cheaper. And still I have found a beautiful, silent PC box that could fit just as well under my TV. And to be fair if I did, I wouldn't look at it if it didn't run OSX...

Yeah, but this advert wasn't about price, it was about performance.
So my point stands.
