Gates Slams Mac Ads...

It's his own fault.

In Microsoft’s own propaganda for Vista, it came out with an online article on the msn web page, entitled “Windows Vista: 15 Reasons to Switch.” http://tech.msn.com/microsoft/article.aspx?cp-documentid=2664459&gt1=9013

And guess what reason #1 is? It is more “Mac-like.”

1. It's the Interface, Stupid
Perhaps the best thing about Windows Vista is the most obvious: its new interface. With transparent animated windows that swoosh into place, subtle and elegant colors, a new Start menu, and plenty of other changes, this is the most beautiful version of Windows you've seen. If you've ever had Mac envy, this is the Windows you want--it's the most Mac-like interface yet.

So, if Microsoft’s Number One reason for me to switch to Vista is that it is more Mac-like, why shouldn’t I just skip all the hassle and the hype, drop a couple of extra bucks and save myself a bunch of time and buy a Mac?

Thanks for adding that. It's the first I recall hearing of it.

Why not just get a Mac to begin with?

When I took a look at the other reasons, the author was pointing out things that have been on Macs for a while already! After getting my Mac, the only reason I had for a Windows machine is to run software I need Windows for - and now I don't even need that with Parallels... It is a different MacWorld out there now. I am someone who never would have switched to a Mac and now I don't think I'll ever go back to Windows.
