More of Microsoft's misleading information for uneducated shoppers
Haha! I can see Microsoft's new ads already.
This statement is completely wrong. Microsoft will twist the truth in any way to convince the uneducated shoppers out there...but its hard to beat a trend...and Apple is the most popular trendsetter in the consumer market.
That is a sexist Ad.
They show a woman, suggesting she is stupid and don't know that macs are better.
If I was a woman I'd be pissed.

Calling pc users poorer than their mac counterparts?
The elitist attitude by people like you give all of us mac owners a bad name. I have no doubt that you live with your parents and they bought you your macs. Hell, I doubt you've ever worked in a day in your life, LOL.
Perhaps Ford could use that as an argument against using a Toyota. "They act different than what you may be used to"...
You have absolutely no idea what your talking about right here. Blu-ray is likely the last physicial medium before the internet. We are not there yet in terms of internet.
It's not that
Same thing for me, but on my Mac running Safari 5.0.

You only make yourself look like a fool when you post stuff like that.
There hasn't been RROD issues since the Jasper motherboard update.
The funny thing to me is, Microsoft doesn't make a PC, yet they comment on the selection of Apple computers and color choices? What choices do you offer Microsoft.
However, I wholly agree with one observation about a PC capability:
Wake up Apple. I'll have a 27 inch HD screen on my soon to be ordered Mac Pro, but I won't even be able to stick a blu-ray in it? For over $3,000? Even when optioned out for over $16,000, no blu-ray read capability even. I can get that on an Acer at Wal-mart.

I looked up a few of the tweets from the feed. They're from January and earlier. How sad they need to go that far back to hear any "buzz."
On a funny and probably coincidental note, a few of the tweets highlighted were the poster's last tweet. Haha.

Actually, I don't need additional software to make it useful on Windows.
(Don't get me wrong, I use OS X at home, but that's one of the few things I like about using Windows at work.) Also, since there's an Alt key on both sides of the keyboard, I really don't usually need two hands. Come to think of it, most of the ones I use seem to be left-handed, anyway.As for shortcut key combos, the unpredictability is about on par with OS X, although slightly more for shortcuts that never seem to have established a standard (much like how you never know where to find the "Options"--or is it "Preferences"?--menu, but that's app developers' faults, not Windows').
Keep in mind that I'm talking primarily about the "underlined letter" shortcuts (except for my tangent about Ctrl+ combos). If not time, they at least save me from having to move the mouse to click on things.
It's not that
Something is wrong with you rending. looks like you got a bad load. I have seen stuff like that happen on multiple browsers.
Same for me on all these current stable build browsers:
Chrome
Safari
Firefox
IE7 & IE8 (Windows XP & Windows 7)
The site keeps messing up the formatting of my signature too. I have to go in and edit it each day. The site is running very old vB software that is full of bugs and probably secure flaws too.
And as for the touch based pc's Microsoft is trying to brag about, there's no demand for them. Apple could have slapped a touch screen on a MacBook and iMac 2 years ago. They didn't because it's a dumb idea. I work at staples, and we stopped carrying hp touchsmarts because there was no demand for them. If I want to use a touch screen I'll use my iPad, thank you very much.
It only seems to happen on the previous page. We're on a new page (for me) and it's not happening anymore.
windows 7 is far ahead because of its simplicity
I really get satisfied from the iphone 3gs and the ipad. great tools, easy to use, beautifull designed. because of this experience i ve buyed an imac too and it becomes one of the big disapointments in my entire using computers career.
in the first time the mac operating system looks great, simple, cool and easy. at the second view it becomes a horror trip.
where are my files exactly?
i dont want to use an itunes like ui to copy files or data. i like it simple, straight and easy. easy like windows 7.
on a mac a mouse is slow like my grandpas car.
i want burn data to a blu-ray disc, no chance.
i want edit avi movies cant import them.
i want play new computer games, oh wow i can play starcraft 2 on a mac, whats about crysis 2, mafia 2 or most of the others?
the list goes on endless....
well maybe i am to old to get into a new operating system but through apple i learned to enjoy simplicity on my Windows 7. well done microsoft!

It's more than likely some ad on the page. I was able to reproduce it in all browsers but not on other pages on MacRumors or on this new page in this thread.
