Here’s a good post by UX Evangelist, who wonders where Apple would be without Microsoft to beat up on:
It seems that for all of their, “Mac users are, ‘up here’ and everyone else is just, ‘down there'”, they don’t really give a good reason to use their product. Not once does one… get the impression from those commercials to get a Mac other than for the purpose of, “not getting millions of viruses.” You know, if I’m going to buy something, I don’t want FUD marketing techniques to sell it to me. Granted, if someone wanted to, they could go pull up Apple’s website to see what a Mac is really supposed to be about but doesn’t that defeat the purpose? How is someone going to look it up if they don’t have a computer to begin with? Oh, that’s right… chances are, everyone already has a computer with Windows on it. Once again, just where would Steve Jobs’ OS be without good ol’ Bill G’s already dominating the market?
