Microsoft placing "I'm a PC" recording booths outside Apple stores

The Apple / Microsoft ad war keeps escalating -- while Apple continues to insist that John Hodgman is the human representation of all PCs, Microsoft is taking its populist approach to the streets. Very specific streets, actually -- it's placing "I'm a PC" recording booths outside of Apple stores, like the one pictured here in Birmingham, England. The booth is staffed with three 'Softies who'll try to sell you on the latest in Windows tech while making nyah-nyah faces at Apple store patrons, and guests are invited to make a short video explaining why they, too, are PCs. Not to be outdone, Apple has pledged to send Justin Long to your house to charmingly condescend to you about his various abilities while still pretending to be your best friend.

ViewRoyal,

"This Microsoft booth outside an Apple store is just pitiful, and shows just how desperate Microsoft has become!"

Actually, don't you think when the PC vs. MAC ads came out, it showed how desparate Apple was? I think Apple did a great job (it's starting to get old now, however), and Microsoft found a fair way to retaliate without attacking Apple directly.

I'm a huge PC user, but MAC does have some appeal for everyday tasks such as web browsing, video editing, and listening to music.

However, if I had to run a huge business/compapny with a purely MAC environment, I'd FAIL...

EPIC FAIL...
