On October 22, Microsoft will unleash the much-anticipated Windows 7. After the commercial disaster that is Windows Vista, it is believed the new release will turn the tide for the world's biggest software maker. A lot of people also believe it will put a halt to Mac OS X's growth, but I personally think we need to remember the timeless quote form Steve Jobs: "We have to let go of the notion that for Apple to win, Microsoft has to lose."

On one hand, there's the option of finding one of the millions of techs that do Windows support and paying $50 to get it sorted out. Or pay (at least) $200-$300 more than an equivalent PC to buy a Mac - and Phil Schiller thinks that's a good value proposition.
Also ... in the new Apple ads, I'm sure we'll hear the usual crap about "viruses! and, um trojans! and oh .. BSODs! Crashes! Blah! Boo!"

That's all the current Apple ads do, they just rehash the same old tired, lazy arguments that Mac fanboys were using 10 years ago.
The really pathetic thing is the way Apple fanatics are actually gullible enough to think that the "I'm a Mac" ads are clever.
