No they are trying to make it "uncool" to not use a Mac. Like their 'camera' add where they say you can only get an installed camera on a Mac. Nothing to do with the OS and blatently false. Lots of PC's come with cameras installed in the laptops.

Why does it have to have something to do with the OS? In case it escaped your notice, Apple sells hardware as well. And your "only" qualifier is a lie and a strawman. Yes, many PC laptops have cameras, but many don't, including the hapless "PC" getting one installed. It is a selling point that the low-end laptops from Apple do.

The whole campaign is about ease of use and lack of hassles. Including a camera that functions automatically with the integrated software is an example.

Yep. Great strategy, really. I'm sure it's getting under Microsoft's skin.
