Don't disagree that it was Microsoft's choice, but I think it was a rational choice. Mac's campaign was undeniably effective (although irritating to me, I'm sure a lot of people moved to Mac because of it) and Microsoft had to respond to keep market share. That's why I hate those ads.
Anyways, I'm just glad Windows 7 is out and I no longer have to deal with that abomination that is Vista (wasn't even stable, and when a program crashed, it pretty much managed to bring everything down with it). Now to figure out how to get rid of the broken link in my Games folder...
