OTOH, Turner's original statement that he did cartwheels down the hall and that it was the greatest phone call he's ever gotten is stupid unless he's a gymnast that never gets phone calls. It was a simple call from a legal department to notify a competitor that claims about a product weren't accurate. Turner tried to spin it like, "Oh, we're REALLY getting to Apple! They called us to complain about our ads!" In fact, it's a little pathetic that MS acts like it's a great victory that the smaller company reacted to them. The PC shopper ads are good. For MS, after the Mojave and Seinfeld commercials, they're like a masterpiece. How tough is it to follow a seven minute commercial about a stolen leather giraffe that shows Jerry Seinfeld clipping his toenails, though?
The PC shopper ads show people who don't know much about PCs getting sold a PC by a PC salesman who's giving them the computer and trying to convince them to get the PC instead of the Mac. They're good commercials, but...let's face it, I'm a Mac guy and if someone gave me a fifteen hundred dollar PC for free, I'd look happy, too.
If they didn't change them they would have.
