Apple plans Mac marketing blitz around Windows 7 launch

Phil Schiller on Windows 7: "No matter how you look at it, it's still Windows".

Apple plans to counter the upcoming release of Windows 7 with advertisements that will lambaste the upgrade process from Windows XP, and portray Macs as more secure.

According to BusinessWeek, Apple will launch ads in response to the debut of Microsoft's latest operating system, due on Oct 22. The spots are expected to criticize Windows and portray the Mac as a superior platform. Apple views the launch as an opportunity to lure Windows users to the Mac.

"It will likely make the case that Macs are less susceptible to viruses and are best suited to its popular iPods and and iPhones," the report said. "And look for it to poke fun at Microsoft for making XP owners go through an arduous process to upgrade to Windows 7 -- one that includes backing up all their files to an external drive, reformatting their PC, and then reinstalling all of their old programs, assuming they still have the CDs."

Oh but for people who want to go from PC to mac the files and programs will magically transfer with no hassles what so ever? You will still need to start from scratch and reinstall all of your programs. This is why I am sticking with Vista, I have had no problems with it at all and I don't want to have to reformat.

So there really is magic involved? Files and programs automatically appear on your new computer when you go from a mac to pc? No need for the disks? Wow, learn something new every day I guess..

I was just about to copy/paste the exact same thing as you.

What a crock. You'll have to install all of your old programs... You would have to do the same if you made the switch to Mac as well, providing there is a Mac version of the software (in which case you'll spend more money re buying all your software to the other platform.)

Keep in mind that regardless of your stance or interest in this, be it good or bad; the ToS agreement makes it so you can't leave negative reviews once accepted.

Hence why I posted video so people can watch and make up their own minds and I will reserve my final thoughts until the final build.

Star Citizen showcases the creation of the two brand-new animals coming to alpha 3.23

Land on any planet in Star Citizen currently and you’ll be greeted by things like weather patterns, flora, and very possibly a derelict or two. What you won’t find are any animals, however. That’s going to change with alpha 3.23’s release, as CIG has finally put together two animals to populate certain planets. That’s not quite three, but it’s more than one!

Two brand-new animals? Fantastic. This game should be ready by the time the Vault Dwellers come out from their Vaults Two Hundred years after the Apocalypse.

Any minute now...
