I hate the mac advert rip off as well.
The idea is there but surely its just too long ago when the mac ads were
running for it to be a riposte?
But i guess in true Microsoft fashion it takes them ages to get

BTW the ad was made on an apple mac!
If you stop it the ad theres some give away sign in it.
Can you say Own goal?
