How does this ad prove in any way that microsoft is taking a swipe at apple or is unprofessional? You honestly think they implied the 6pm is the apple release time? Heck they probably could care less with the huge share they have of the market. 6PM just happens to be the time when most people come home from work.
Ummm apple networking is easier because its got about 1/1000th of the managability, capability and control. I'm talking infastructure and not just a 2 computer home peer setup. Just pick up a book on Active Directory and flip through.
