Hello, I’m a PC (not quite all the time), and I’m a Mac

Those folks at Microsoft aren't as PC as they'd like for you to believe.

Consider this: Parts of their new "I'm a PC" ad campaign -- which is a direct copy of the style used in the Apple campaign that lampoons PCs -- was done on Macintosh computers! Surprise! You can get the inside story in this Computer World story.

When it comes to doing video and graphics, the Mac still rules the roost. Of course, it wasn't the Microsoft folks directly who did this. But their advertising agency is guilty of using the competition to create their own message.

What else did you expect? Microsoft rarely has an idea of their own, but are masters at marketing the many ideas they've cloned over the years.

I'll stick with my Mac. Always.
