From http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...10/tc_nf/19639

One of the ads shows a Mac and a PC sitting on adjacent lounge chairs beside a pool, engaged in a game of chess. Another shows the two computers watching movies together over boxes of Chinese takeout. A third shows them fishing together. The ads refer their audience to a Web site where Mac users can get a free 30-day trial of Office v.X.
Aww...isn't that cute!

Microsoft: "Hey, Apple! You're not promoting OS X enough, sales of OfficeX aren't as good as they should be!"

Apple: "You make Office, not us. Make your own friggin ads."

Microsoft: "We can do that?"

yeesh.

Ooooooooookay. I have got a bad feeling about this... Is MS up to something?

I always get a bad feeling when MS behaves well... it's uncharacteristic of them.
I could take Sean Connery in a fight... I could definitely take him.

Relax. MS just likes them dollars.

If they thought it would sell more copies of Office X, they would run ads showing Steve Ballmer swinging from a tire.

MS knows that their windows sales are slipping so they are trying to get their foot in the door so they can hope to see their logo all over the mac.
In a realm beyond site, the sky shines gold, not blue, there the Triforce's might makes mortal dreams come true.
