Comments on: Microsoft Ad Campaign http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/mwshead/2009/03/27/microsoft-ad-campaign/ Musings of Mark Shead Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:15:04 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Idiot Finder http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/mwshead/2009/03/27/microsoft-ad-campaign/comment-page-1/#comment-2773 Idiot Finder Fri, 17 Jul 2009 16:35:57 +0000 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/mwshead/?p=41#comment-2773 Just because you choose to view and interpret an ad campaign very narrowly, doesn't mean the campaign is flawed. It might just mean that you are an idiot fanboi looking for excuses to bash Microsoft. I'm surprised that it never occurred to you that reason the user in the ad can walk into a store and look at 50 different machines picking the one that fits him best is because Microsoft runs on lots of different hardware and gives you a ton of options, including the ability to buy a laptop for under $1000. That is a feature of the software, not the hardware. It may need to be explicitly stated for morons, but the unbiased viewer would get it.
