Let’s help make those windows interactive while giving some excellent holiday shopping advice with a constant stream of “Get a Mac” tweets. Like we just did. Note: Just include the hashtag #holidaywindows in any tweet and “Get a Mac” along with any other holiday wishes (“right down the street, look under the glass cube,” etc.) that you wish to impart.

MacDailyNews Note: Microsoft astroturfers have since been dispatched to Twitter to try to cover the company’s ill-conceived marketing mistake with pro-Microsoft, pro-Windows tweets. You know what to do.
