Why Apple

You can’t deny it with the introduction of the IPod, IPhone, IMac, and now Snow Leopard Apple is gaining and gaining fast on Microsoft. Everybody that I have spoken to admit’s that they secretly want a mac… they talk about apple as though it where an affair, as though it would be cheating on their pc to get one. They simply lust after Apple’s Products. (ok admitedly a little extreme but still you get the point.) Mac’s are here and everybodys talking about them. Why you may ask? because they are sexy, they are top of the line, and the advertising behind them is undeniably better than Microsoft’s. I am not only talking about the two guys pretending to perpetuate to be computers or the many people saying they want a mac on Microsoft’s ads. but also the advertising on their websites. Take a look at the screenshots below.

First let’s say the obvious do you want a computer to build a resume? Or do you want a sexy cat with snow on it
Second Microsoft is not featuing it’s products on it’s homepage. Other than the tabs across the top I see no mention of windows, no pricing, I see no features. I see no mention of how fast windows is or how it supports a ton of hardware compared to the Mac. All I see is the news section where it even references Apple showing off it’s new version of office for OSX.

There was a toyota commercial that summed it up for me… “Everybody keeps saying how they were like the Camry so I bought a Camry” Makes sence to me… I have an IPhone for that very reason.

Thanks for reading

  I appreciate the point but the writing is poor.

  You didn’t even spell the name of the car right. These things matter to a reading audience.

  I count 31 problems in this text. It’s barely 3 paragraphs long. I don’t mind the occasional typo, life is like that. When you have 31 issues in 239 words, it shows us you either don’t care or this is the best you can do. Either way, it doesn’t look good.

  I am sorry for the spelling in this, I posted before proofing.
  I have updated the story and proofed it.
  Please have another look and let me know how I can improve.

  Thanks

  I enjoyed the read Mr. Bates. I am in the boat of wanting a Mac but not being able to justify the price. I guess for the less computer savy user, the benefits may be worth the plunge. For now though I guess I will just ‘lust’ and hack away at my IBM’s until my better half has an ‘Apple Attack’ of her own….(not crossing fingers).
