I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
Again I ask...Why does Microsoft feel the need to "get the word out"? They don't need to!![]()
Because perception is reality. If Apple makes commercials for years on end saying that Windows isn't hip, or crashes all the time, or can't do all the nifty things that Apple products can, then people are going to start to believe it. But, if Microsoft can show people how the XBox, Zune, and Windows 7 can integrate into everyday life at home, or how the Windows Live Essentials suite will allow them to work with photos, email, music, blogging, etc. (and not just using Office at work), then that could start to change people's perception of all things Microsoft. Which in turn could lead to even more revenue for them.
