Attempting to gain people's attention on an iPhone obsessed planet, the first ad in a new $300 million advertising campaign by Microsoft goes old school with adventures on the high sea. An ad that closely resembles a bad Hallmark sympathy card is a desperate antidote created to reverse the effects of Apple's highly toxic, yet successful "I'm A Mac and I'm A PC" ad campaign.
ZD Net's Ed Bott, sniffed out the Microsofties futile attempt at anti-Apple marketing. The ad sheepishly avoids uttering the legendary Apple brand name in fear that people will just start randomly lining up somewhere. View "the real ad" for yourself and join the mindless zombies reciting the fairy tale of how far Vista has come. (Why didn't I get the memo saying the world isn't flat?)

OMG again, that is too funny. I am going to be writing on this a bit later too - that graphic is AWESOME. I will post in comments here what I blog on which were my initial thoughts when I first saw the ad.
Well after the thought that Ballmer is stupider than I thought, and that is a real accomplishment.
Did I mention that graphic is AWESOME?
