I personally find the whole thing amusing. I use both Mac and PCs in my day-to-day life and while MS is the undisputed behemoth they always seem to be playing a game of catch-up with other companies. We’ve seen it time and again with WordPerfect, Palm, and Apple. This latest marketing blunder on Microsoft’s part was just too crazy to ignore.

You know, I did switch from Mac to Windows. And soon I will switch back.

All of this Mac vs. Windows nonsense is just “Clash Of The Nerds”. It must stop.
