appletell on the ad wars:

It’s no secret that a new battle is brewing in the Microsoft and Apple ad marketplace. Yet, with these new ads, it’s clear that Apple is still winning. With their ads, Apple is able to fully show how great the Mac is compared to the PC while still not straight out bashing it. Through their humor and experience, they are able to hide their snarky comments whereas Microsoft has done the wrong thing by making their ads revolve around them. Keep it up, Apple.
