....who's the fairest of them all.

The underlying context of this image is priceless, especially when you see who the parent company is (HINT: the investors would kill him today if he'd returned their money).

What, me worry?

I have no idea what point you are trying to make or what you are trying to convey.

OK, we'll start by ignoring the text and focus on the just the image on the right.

In many children's stories (Sleeping Beauty being the best well known) the antagonist consults a magic mirror inquiring who the best/prettiest/fairest/ect person in the land is , and instead of of reflecting back with the antagonist, the mirror shows the protagonist.

So this image is conveying that Mac > Windows (Like we didn't already know that [sic]).

So the punchline as I see it is this: being a dell product, they're essentially saying they work for the "Evil Witch" but they want to be with "The princess".

Add this into the equation: Dell: Apple should close shop - CNET News

..and it's seems funny (at least to me).
What, me worry?
