Thu, 21 Aug 2008 06:39:40 PDT
What is the deal with Windows Vista? While would be remiss to pin the Microsoft OS's relatively poor showing entirely on the success of Apple's Get a Mac ads, the Cupertino company's cleverly simple (or, perhaps, simply clever) advertising campaign certainly didn't help Redmond's cause.
