It's been exposed as a pack of lies. The "switcher" works for a PR company that M$ hired to do the campaign.

Um... as I start reading that page over XP I notice one thing.
I started reading a cached page, that was pulled before anybody else got to read it & at the same time I'm watching a Switch commercial with Tony Hawk praising apple.
What would you trust? A page, by a nameless MS rep, that got pulled from M$'s own web server or an add involving a respectable dad talking about making movies of his child?

I always thought the Apple switch campaign was totally stupid.
But I had a great time to watch some of this people how they told some stupid things. I love the one who says in the end "I am an IT manager". Hehehe...
And now Microsoft is copying that crap.
Who is more a fool, the fool or the fool that follows him?

The Incredible...
The other day I was making a joke of M$ having a Switch page so in order that I would be able to switch from Macs to Wintels and now comes this?
HA HA HA HA HA....
Yep! After reading the so-called switch from Macs to XP I made the decision...
I WILL SWITCH...
...to the new PowerMacs that will come out on January!? that is
As for Apple's switch stuff although I don't like them, it seems that people find them comical and with that in mind they like them a lot... You know why they think that they are comical? Because they think that if they were on those videos they could say more or less the same if NOT funnier things about Wintel... Like:
-I plugged my new USB modem on the USB port of my PC and instead of playing with my new modem the PC was REBOOTING again and again until I unplugged the USB modem...
-My new P4 and/or Athlon XP 2GHz in order to boot needs first at least one Reset each and every time!!!
-I installed my legal copy of XP Pro after a long and painful procedure only to find out that I had to Activate via internet or phone the product or else the system would lock up after some time: What is this? Am I a criminal? Can one LOGICAL person imagine buying a DVD or an Audio CD or a Game only to find out that you have to use the above mentioned ways to Activate the product or else they would not play after some time? I don't want to call or to connect with anyone to use a product that I paid for it...
For the last part we (our business) thanks M$!!! In the last couple of months we sold 4-5 eMacs because people didn't like the song that M$ sings with XP... Thank you M$

Apple uses real people, M$ used a stock photo, it wasn't even a real picture of their own employee. And their comparison of Office to AppleWorks...they forgot to mention the difference in price tag, they'd have you think Office came free with XP. NOt to mention that IE is the default Mac browser, yet they tout it over Navigator....sooo stupid.......good thing it's gone,.

Just a link for those who don't know how fake this ad actualy is...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/2329519.stm
Investigative work by a reporter from the Associated Press tracked down the person behind the story who turned out to be an employee of the Wes Rataushk & Associates ad agency.
This was the company that was employed by Microsoft to draw up the adverts about switchers.
Microsoft has now pulled the page from its website and said it 'regretted' its action.
On a completely different stance. I can see why a Mac user, employed by microsoft, would switch. Incessant badgering from co-workers, MS discounts, etc.. I'm sure there aren't too many wintel users at apple!

hahahahahahaha. That made my day...
Apple comercials have always been different (think different, anyone?) from the stock PC commercials that try to sell PC's like stylized cars. Bacuse these comercials are different than the rest, they stand out, and people talk about that. Point is, Apple has a successfull ad campaign. When the competition (M$) attempts to imitate it, they only prove that the ad campaign was successful enough to grab their attention. The fact that Microsnot got caught trying to immitate Apple's ad campaign (and immitate it badly), is just too funny... Wait until Dell or Gateway try something like this...

As Emeril would say: "BAM!"
MS pulls another fraudulent testimonial!
Microsoft has yanked another of its fraudulent user testimonials, in this case a fictitious twelve-year-old boy raving about a fictional homework assignment and the indespensable insights he received from MS Encarta Reference Library in preparing it.
