Tired of the bad press that Vista has received, Microsoft has launched a $300 million ad campaign to set the record straight. Unfortunately, the $300 million was not enough to buy an adequate advertising company. The "Earth is Flat" ad basically insinuated that people that do not like Vista are Luddites.
As anyone that follows tech knows, Vista got off to a rocky start. As Brad Brooks, Microsoft's VP of Windows Vista put it "We broke a lot of things. We know that, and we know it caused you a lot of pain." To make matters worse for Microsoft, Apple has pointed out Vista's flaws at every turn.
I actually like Vista. I prefer it to XP and use it more often than OS X. That said, insinuating that people that do not use Vista also believe that the earth is flat is rather insulting. Is it any wonder people are flocking to Apple?
