If you have a tv connected to even basic cable, you'll see the PS3 commericals, and the Apple/Mac commercials.
They're outrageous.
The PS3 has yet to attack xbox360 in their commercials, but come on! Why doesn't the xbox360 have really cool commercials out showing off it's stuff??
And then on top of that the commercials attacking Windows 7 are just horrible. I can't help but imagine how many people that just have no idea what they're doing totally falling for those commercials and deciding their next computer will be a Mac instead of PC.
Maybe Microsoft doesn't care. Maybe they're not worried about this.
but as a huge fan of Microsoft and they're products, Can't Microsoft do something to assure its community, and prove, that it's better?
I don't watch much TV, but I have seen the PlayStation commercials. They get the point across, say why they think they're good, and don't bad mouth the competition like a bad political ad. I think they're funny too, that's a plus.
I think Microsoft isn't advertising the console as much because they don't perceive Sony as a threat. Nintendo is targeting a different market than they are, and Sony is far enough behind them that it's unlikely they'll make up the gap this generation.
They are advertising Windows 7 though. I've seen a few for that, and I've
watched them online too. Those are actually pretty nice. They're taking a different approach, but they actually show off features of the OS, which is nice. They also show people using it too.
Honestly though? I'd rather see them put money towards improving the console than more advertisements. There's enough of those on the Xbox already.

What's wrong with those commercials? MACs
really are much more secure and can do everything that the general user
wants to do. I find them amusing. Their latest with the flashbacks of
MS saying how the new Windows will be more secure is really funny.
Sony
looks like they are appealing as the "hip" console, whereas MS is
trying to advertise themselves as a party and family console. It is
just an image thing, but I bet the crowd which MS is appealing to is
much larger.
It's Mac. Not MAC. Two entirely different things. The flashback
commercial is funny too, because Apple does exactly the same thing.
What is Snow Leopard an improvement on? Leopard. What is Leopard an
improvement on? Tiger. Panther, Jaguar, Puma, etc. Also, I wouldn't
call an OS that deletes all your files if you ever use the guest
account secure, but your opinion may be different.
Why is a Wi-Fi adapter like a sewing machine?
