MacDailyNews Take: The more Microsoft mentions Apple, the better it is for Apple. And, a “Life Without Walls” would preclude the need for Windows, geniuses.

Here’s the boat anchor (1.7-inch thick, 7.1-pounds) that the oh-so-picky Giampaolo picked. Hey, Gia, be careful not to drop that cinder block on your foot!

Mac OS users have made a conscious technology choice and are therefore typically better informed than their peers.Paul Thurrott, December 06, 2004

For Microsoft, ignorance is indeed bliss. It’s the very reason they exist.

If someone told you they’d buy your laptop for you for up to $1500, wouldn’t a smart person spend as close to $1500 as possible?

The Mojave deceptions, the Seinfeld fiascos, the “I’m a PC and I wear headbands” stupidity, the “‘A Life Without Walls’ Implies That You Don’t Need Windows, So Get a Mac” tagline, etc… We’ve seen more than enough: Are the people at Microsoft’s Mac-loving ad agency, Crispin Porter + Bogusky, intentionally trying to sabotage Microsoft?

If so, it’s working. Great job, guys; keep it up!

If not, they’re as inept as the should-be used car salesman with history’s most fortunate dorm assignment who ultimately approved these myriad self-damaging campaigns.
