Well, they fired him after two commercials.

Let’s hope they fired the marketing team that came up with the concept.

nice to see you can dish it to both sides, dan-o. i was gettin’ worried after the two apple-chompin’ articles.

actually, i have to say, even as a long time mac fan, i like the new “i’m a pc” ads and think they make the right statement: using windows doesn’t (necessarily) make you a dullard. tho’ i’m tremendously disappointed deepak chopra uses windows. ugh. how unenlightened.

namasté.

“Apple’s Mac computers, which run Apple’s OS X operating system instead of Windows, have been gaining share, reaching 11 percent of the U.S. consumer market, according to researcher NPD. That’s a small slice compared with Microsoft, whose software runs on 90 percent of the world’s PCs”.

101%?

@Toto: Nope. One is measuring the U.S. consumer market; the other the world market.

Nice possible catch, though! And he IS mixing apples with oranges there.
