Bit more on microsoft's dodginess here:

Actually, I'd not read that "Apple Tax" thing before but it's fucking comedy I love the way it pretends to be an actual study for a bit before just abandoning all that and turning into a lengthy Slashdot troll making shit up.

P.S. BSD is dying.

Looks like Microsoft's 'Laptop Hunter' ads proved successful enough to make Apple target them in their now rather tired-looking 'I'm a PC' campaign:

Apple's created a whole new chapter in its "Get a Mac" ad campaign based on targeting Microsoft's successful Laptop Hunters series, and while at this point it's just a lot of muddled back-and-forth, the gang in Cupertino managed to spice things up a little by bringing in an all-too-recognizable face and voice: Patrick "David Puddy" Warburton. Mr. Brock Samson / Joe Swanson / The Tick comes on as the top-of-the-line PC who some say has a "much too fast" processor but prone to viruses and causing headaches -- you knew were the narrative was going.

There's lots of reasons why someone might prefer a Mac to a PC, but their endless crowing about 'thousands of viruses' is painfully out of date now.

He's a model, selected by a model agency after a focus group commissioned by a Microsoft think tank presumably perused hundreds of similar mugs.

Get a grip. He looks like a fucking tool. And in any case, he probably couldn't find the ON switch on either a PC or a Mac.

I think I've seen him on the ONE show , doing wildlife stuff
