Image: Screen grab from video on Microsoft Software + Services site
So I’m watching some of the videos that are available on the Microsoft Strategy Software + Services website and I thought I saw something very cool. In the video I noticed the guy was sitting in the airport using a Mac.
Notice he is also […]

Microsoft Isn’t Going to Take It Anymore

I’m a big fan of the Apple/PC commercials, but it’s not because they enlighten me on the truth between the two computers. It’s because they’re well done and funny. Microsoft is tired of the the commercials being taken as fact and will be starting a campaign to battle that mindset.
In a clear dig at Apple […]

Go Experience the Mac Book Air

What is it in me that creates the urge to schedule an appointment and just be really weird with the questions I ask. You know, odd stuff I want to do with the computer. Keep asking if I can play CD’s on it while I’m on the plane. Show-up with a bunch of peripherals […]

Do You Love Or Hate Microsoft

Mike Abundo at Emerging Earth, just shared his opinion about Microsoft and why nobody’s giving up the love for the big softie. I’ve got to say that I’m not sure if I could categorize my feelings for Microsoft as “love”, but I can tell you I appreciate what they’ve allowed and equipped me to do […]

Windows Vista Headaches

If you’ve been watching TV, you’re probably already aware of one of the biggest seeming annoyances of Windows Vista. Security alerts. The newest PC and Mac ads illustrate the challenges poetically. I find it somewhat challenging that the biggest complaint about Microsoft’s operating system has always been stability and security, they fix many problems in […]

Mac Commercials Challenge

I was speaking with a friend of mine a few days ago and we got to talking about the new Mac ads. He had the suggestion that to really push the software and show what it can do, instead of just talking about how cool it is not to be a PC, is to completely […]

I like Macs

To clarify just a little bit, I like Macs. They’re just not my currently preferred hardware of choice. Given my recent post you may have thought otherwise. If I were in the market for a new computer, I might choose a Mac over a PC. There are some factors that will go against that like […]

New Mac Commercial

Two guys on screen, one says he’s a PC and the other says he’s a Mac. The PC guy starts sneezing and talking about having a virus and the Mac guy is helping the PC guy out with a tissue, blah-blah-blah.
Would someone please write a playful little virus that would prove that one of the […]

Microsoft Expanding Its Borders

Two recent announcements show that Microsoft is expanding its borders into areas that have been void of a large Microsoft presence, if any at all.
The biggest news comes from Apple, which release a product that will allow hard drives to be partitioned and run OSX on a partition and Windos OS on another. Why would […]
