Microsoft pulled the campaign. The current one that they are running, "I'm a PC" pokes fun at the apple campaign, and is certainly focused and aligned. But it sells hardware, not software. Microsoft Vista is a disaster, and many hardware manufacturers still offer XP. This may all be moot in a couple of years, however, as computer functions begin to shift more and more to online and off of operating systems and software programs.

I sit starting at the ad wondering, What's the point! As a former full-time techy (now a small business owner) there were many reasons to stay away from Vista in the first place.
