I think Apple should run a response commercial with a script something like

"In their commercial, Microsoft claimed this computer cost $1999. Now, after a price reduction, it's only $1899. See? Macs are affordable now!"

I think that would really clear up the issue for everyone.

Then M$ should run the same commercial with a, "I'm a PC still, and a hundred measly dollar price rollback, doesn't really mean very much" punchline.

Perhaps then Apple could run another ad stating that their computers are now only "almost extravagantly' overpriced, as opposed to being, "extravagantly overpriced". That'd hit M$ where it hurts....., or possibly not. :rolleyes:

I was recently at a Microsoft Partner event where Steve Balmer stood on stage and with huge satisfaction and glee, announced that his best day this year was when Apple phoned him and said they wanted Microsoft to pull the adverts. He said "FINALLY! we're getting to them". And he's right, the MS adverts are great, very true to point and Apple products (great as they are) are overpriced and overhyped. I'd buy a PC any day - although I still believe there is nothing to touch the iPhone - which is fantastic.
