Microsoft admits mistakes with Windows Vista and criticizes the ads Apple

According Improves Information, Microsoft is preparing to launch a massive publicity campaign which will cost millions of dollars with which the company intends to counteract the negative image that has reaped Windows Vista. Brad Brooks, vice president of marketing of Windows Vista, has used the announcement to conduct a word from Apple on its Get a Mac campaign in which it has not stopped making wood tree fallen since the launch of Vista:

We have a competitor very noisy out there. You know what, and we too. It has caused some impact. Let’s start the counterattack. They claim to be a iAutopista while the rest are a road filled with curves .* We believe that this is a very unfortunate message. The software must be compatible with your life to the full.

From my point of view, Microsoft is solely responsible for their mistakes, and Apple is merely playing his cards as best you can. AppleInsider reported yesterday the excellent results of the company’s apple in the last three months thanks in part to the poor reception of Windows Vista. During this period have been sold nearly two and a half million Macs, experiencing a growth that doubles as the rest of the industry and the most interesting thing is that it is estimated that half of them have ido into the hands of switchers, people who never before had a Mac.
