The point of the ad is simple and nice: It's Christmas. Give the fighting a rest.
Not smoking. Sorry, never been to your town before.
I'm glad it was a time edit and not a political correctness one.

I'm no Bible thumper but I noticed that omission as well.
Business is where Microsoft is still prominent, although it is loosing that category more and more now as well. I really do think Microsoft's days are numbered, at least in the OS business, unless it can turn things around and nothing they are doing is working right for them at this point in time.
If only it were that simple. The point of this ad is that, no matter who you are you want to be associated with Apple right now, because it draws attention to you. Getting Apple on your front page, or in your commercials is gold. But their strategy last Christmas, going after the MacBook Air vs. the Surface Pro didn't play out so well, as it came off predictably snarky. So this year, let's be warm and fuzzy and still try to use Apple in our commercials.
kBut wait. Didn't you say that you had been to "all of the Apple stores in the Silicon Valley/Bay Area"? The truth is that it's a well known fact that the Microsoft store is usually a sad, deserted place. Especially compared to the Apple store. I have been in malls were they are both located in cities all over the country. And the contrast is laughable.
Yep, they just opened one in Pitt St Mall in Sydney. First they had to bribe people to attend the opening by offering free tickets to a concert by some pop star being held nearby later that night (everyone who attended the opening could go) and then with deals like 50% off Skype credit.
So maybe they're busy because Microsoft has to bribe people to get them into their stores to make them look busy.
If it was a joke, you wouldn't need to defend it. Its ok though.
Also congratz, you've been to three malls in dallas.

Congratz on going to malls around the country.
A great opening gesture by Microsoft would be to stop treating development of its products for OS X as an afterthought.
They still develop their products for OS X better than Apple does for their Windows products.
It's tough making leather seats look good in a '71 Ford Pinto.
What?
I'm talking about performance. I'm talking about how useless the iCloud app is. I'm talking about how worthless QuickTime is.
And I'm talking about the fact that it's running on a dog of an OS.
Peace? Don't they mean surrender?![]()

That dog of an OS (Windows 10) runs better than El Capitan.
