Why Are There Vista Ads On Mac Site, Shouldn't There be a "Leopard, It's Coming" ad or something?????

The ads are delivered by a third-party service, and Microsoft is likely targeting Vista ads to just about every computer site out there. Take pleasure in the fact that ad revenue from Microsoft is helping to support this site.

All competition is healthy competition - something Microsoft doesn't understand...

The only sanctioned way to block ads is subscribing:

$25/year gets you no banner ads on the front page and forums

Maybe Apple should start advertising on Symantec and Mcaffee sites. Something along the lines of " you wouldn't need this site if you were running OS X".

Or maybe they could advertise on Microsoft saying "You wont need this Operating System if you had a mac" Likewise for dell and and and... All other computers are obsolete! Everyone else should just liquidate!
