I hate the mac advert rip off as well. The idea is there but surely its just too long ago when the mac ads were running for it to be a riposte? But i guess in true Microsoft fashion it takes them ages to get anything done :) BTW the ad was made on an apple mac! If you stop it the ad theres some give away sign in it. Can you say Own goal?
