http://TheYPI.net
This campaign has been launched by Microsoft, as a retaliation to the Mac ads which has been trying to tarnish the MS PC image for over an year.
Mac ads usually target the stereotype image of the PC, and shows itself as a young, cool, hep guy compared to the glassed guy of PC.

I just bought a sweet new sleeve for my Macbook Pro, but there was one thing that confused me when I got it. The website description said it was a sleeve for my macbook, but when I opened the box there was a trash can inside and the brand name was "Made in China".

Hey, I'm a PC too :D

this ad's message is simply:"Every Pc is a human being, we don't know what Mac's are."

@macbeasty You can get windows 7 premium for $60 bucks, you obviously didn't look to hard. I got windows 7 ultimate for $125. I am not a fanboy and I use redhat more than I use windows

I have never had a problem with PCs. I own more of them than I will ever own macs. I purchased them because they were cheap and relatively indespensible. But not today....go look online. Unless you want a netbook, all PC laptops will be at least $600 bucks and if you want a laptop that is equivalent to the macbook in cpu efficiency and energy consumption, you will have to pay at least $1500. PC's are only good for games and even then Microsoft makes an xbox and gaming laptops.

Windows 7 Premium: $199

Mac OSX 10.5: $199

source: every online store or technology retailer

Hmm....what did you say earlier? Oh right..."you just don't get the MAC OS which is the only thing you are really paying for". Because according to a consistent source, it looks like Windows 7 is just as expensive as Mac OS. Sorry bud. Be less of a fanboy and switch over to linux. Every normal PC user has already.

@macbeasty You arguing something that has nothing to do with Mac at all, most computers can absorb impacts in excess of 5Gs and that is pretty fast, my friend dropped his $500 HP laptop off a bunkbed, about 5 feet onto concrete, all it did was crack the screen in the corner. To say that only mac can handle the forces of a fall is absurd. I am telling you, you aren't making any point, if your an engineer you know every laptop has it's weak point, and that is based on a probability curve.

I'm not a mac fanboy by any means. I still have my old macbook. I have never owned an iphone or any mac accessory such as the mouse. I have a 5 year old first generation ipod and I even worked at apple as an engineer. I was the only one in my group with a motorola razor. I own two laptops with both ubuntu/redhat and xp installed on both and one desktop PC. To think that you are talking to someone who is ignorant in working with PC's is foolish. I'm tired of debating this shit

I'm 23 years old. I average a laptop about every 2 years although this is my first and so far my only mac. I opened my backpack from my desk and the laptop dropped from over 3 feet in the air to land on the tile. I'm thinking you don't know what indestructable means. It doesn't mean it can't dent, it means the laptop properly absorbs the damage. I'd like to see your computer take an impact on the CD-ROM drive side of the laptop and still have CDs slide in flawlessly.

@macbeasty Windows 7 dosen't really cost that much, nor will any other release. Prices of Windows operating systems are actually getting cheaper if you take inflation into account. I really don't think you have any basis for determining the future market trends. As for windows copying everything Mac does, that simply isn't true, anyone with a brain can do a google search for that. Besides windows is usually bundled with a pc purchase, and spending $70 bucks on a new build isn't that bad.

@macbeasty A dent in the aluminum? Hard drive crashed, well depends on what you mean by crashed, data recovery from a non physically damaged hard drive is relatively easy with the right tools, I do it all the time and it's not that hard to recover everything. Dropping your laptop once is hardly any reason to call your laptop indestructible. Plenty of people drop their computers without any adverse effects, maybe a dent or something, or a cracked screen.
