Some readers and viewers think so." How many is "some"? I mean, really, is it ten that you talked to? Maybe you saw 23 such comments online somewhere? The fact is as long as two people feel this way you can write "some" but it's a point without reference or meaning. If this is a blog, give your opinion, yes, but don't use slippery logic to draw a conclusion that's not supported in any way. At least you're not claiming this is journalism in any sense. “is Apple’s negative campaign alternatively hurting the Cupertino tech firm more than it’s swaying users from the World of Windows?

These are light hearted fun. The bean counter one made a good point. They are suggesting that MS actually spend money to fix Vista instead of spending $300M to advertise Vista. I don't view these as slamming MS. Ease up. These are light hearted fun. The bean counter one made a good point.

Some readers and viewers think so." You have got to be kidding. This is a funny stab at the competition, nothing more. It's a funny ad. Should all comedians stop writing jokes because we are doomed? “In these times of economic strain and political volatility, is Apple’s negative campaign alternatively hurting the Cupertino tech firm more than it’s swaying users from the World of Windows?

I myself find them pretty amusing... I got a chuckle. I’m not agreeing with the notion, more than I’m simply reporting what I’ve been reading and hearing since these ads were first aired.
