Microsoft has added a new section to their Windows 7 site. Entitled ?PC vs. Mac?, it?s the first time Microsoft have openly hit back at Apple?s campaigns against the company.
Many thought that Microsoft would never respond to Apple?s borderline smear campaigns. but it seems that Microsoft have decided to take Apple on. The informative website implies that Macs are potentially "spoiling your fun" and that "take time to learn".
The site compares Windows 7 to Mac OS X in categories such as:
- Having fun
- Simplicity
- Working hard
- Sharing
- Compatibility
- Choice
And the conclusions drawn in these categories are pretty scathing in regards to Apple?s OS.
Arguments against Macs include:
- Macs might spoil your fun
- Macs can take time to learn
- Macs don’t work as well at work or at school
- Macs don’t like to share
- Macs might not like your PC stuff
- Macs don’t let you choose
Not a single positive thing is said about the Mac, but why would it be. At the bottom of the page visitors are encouraged to "find your perfect PC". There are also tweets featured on the site about Windows 7 that show how the OS is being received by users.
