Best on-line apple ad ever?
http://www.cnet.com/windows-vista.html
So this is on cnet's vista page. Apple paid a lot to get this ad on there. It is really quite funny, at least the placement of it is.
I am not a mac nor vista fan boy, so none of that stuff here.
I just thought it was funny and would share. Make sure you watch it with sound.

Honestly, I don't think i would feel that bad. I would be too busy laughing at calling something so random.

That is awesome, has anyone tried the new Apple OS? How does it compare to vista?
So far I have been less than impressed with Vista, especially since a lot of my older games don't work on it.

I have Leopard on my new MacBook. As a lifelong Windows user (and primarilly a Vista user at work), it's a hell of an adjustment to Leopard.
But usability wise, Leopard is just plain better. Application management is simpler and more intuitive. Workflow and multitasking is easier and more manageable with Exposé and Spaces. All programs are enforced to follow a GUI standard that helps enforce common usability. Plus, there are 10x more command line utilities and built in SSH and such. For me, it's the bomb.
But don't buy it for gaming. Unless you like Blizzard games.

Is the add done or something, because I see no apple add at the right side, and no ad space at the top. And I don't have any ad block software on my IE.
