Microsoft been releaseing several TV ads bashing the Mac and claiming that it’s way overpriced and that PC’s can do more for less.  What they did is that they’ve let people choose their next computer spec and set the price and if they find it they get to keep it, and intentially letting them feature the mac as beeing cool but way overpriced for what it can do.

Whatch their ads here :

As you can see The ads specifically target Apple’s Macs as having a higher cost than PCs. Hesseldahl rehashes the usual arguments on cost, but also gets a rare comment from Apple’s PR department on the new ads. Apple’s Bill Evans said of the ads:

“A PC is no bargain when it doesn’t do what you want …. The one thing that both Apple and Microsoft can agree on is that everyone thinks the Mac is cool. With its great designs and advanced software, nothing matches it at any price.”

Some Apple Fans created this parody of Mircorsoft ad which we find to be quite funny
