Alessandro17 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 http://www.appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2473 Apple plans to crank up the anti-Vista rhetoric at its international chain of retail stores later this week, the latest move in a broader bid by the Mac maker to undermine the new operating system release from rival Microsoft Corp. The campaign, set to get underway this Saturday, will include new store displays and employee t-shirts gently mocking Vista as little more than a washed-up attempt at a modern operating system, those familiar with the matter say.

BlackShadowWolf Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I honestly hope they don't go overboard with it. While its fun to poke fun at Microsoft for taking 5 years to release Longhorn/Vista (personally Longhorn sounded better), doing it too much will make Apple look desperate for attention. People do need to know that there are other options besides Windows. This could be one of the best times for Apple as if people do need to upgrade their machines for Vista, why not buy a Mac for the same price, get Tiger with it, and if they still want, can buy Vista and use via Boot Camp or Parallels. Honestly the Intel Switch as opened unheard of worlds for Apple.

sandmanfvrga Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 With all of Vista's problems, I don't see this backfiring. Microsoft has made Vista the way it is. It is Microsoft's fault businesses won't move to Vista. So in the competition for OS's, why NOT point out the facts of Vista's failure? Now I will say this, if it goes on past Leopard's launch, it will look sad. Only Vista ads after the launch of Leopard, should be in there is a huge screw up in Vista (which there will be). If they keep the heat on till Leopard hits, then be conservative on the Vista bashing afterwards, all will be good.
