Did you see how quickly that one crashed and burned? It was obviously a
greatly failed attempt at humor on Microsoft's part. I think that
current Mac commercials are hilarious and this was an attempt by
Microsoft to combat those. I think both companies approaches to humor
are reflective of each company. Apple gets it, Microsoft doesn't.
