Whoever made this film loves Microsoft


Throughout the movie, we see traces of Microsoft everywhere:

- Hotmail (and would a computer expert use Hotmail)
- Outlook Express
- MSN Messenger
- Windows XP on more than one occasion
- Windows Media Player

I thought the exact same thing! They also keept saying "PocketPC" and even had it written a few times (i guess a PocketPC could be running something besides windows).

reply

And is there something wrong about it? Countless movies have Apple products in them, yet nobody is complaining...

reply

Because Apple are a genuinely good and reliable company. Microsoft are utter crap.

I'll leave it like this since I don't want this to become yet another useless argument.

reply

No, you'd prefer to back down because you know I'm right

You are truly an idiot. There are only two differences between MS and AAPL. The first being that MS actually allows 3rd parties to create software for Windows so that we're not reliant on their own brand (like apple). The second is that Apple has given their users a false sense of "community" which turns into smugness. Honestly the Mac is just a Unix box that doesn't give the user any power to do anything cool. It's like using a dumb-terminal. However, if you're content in using your computer only to the extent that a company allows, use Mac...real techies don't touch macs.

BTW, for my grandma or kid a mac is fine... Windows also has it's good and bad points. I use both on a daily basis at my job...However, I prefer Linux to both. Really, the main thing that bugs me about Mac "people" is their inability to realize that Apple's business practices and Operating system is just as bad as Microsoft's.

Your response is just another example of user ignorance masked as pomposity.

I guess that's why a billion people around the world use Macs. Oh wait, I mean Windows PC's.

Well thought out argument... you are another sheep too blind to see that you are being taken advantage of by Apple.

Seriously, have you looked into the *beep* that you have to agree to in order to have Windows on your computer?

Frankly, I'd rather spend the time to learn an OS that isn't trying to rape me for every dollar I've got, so both Apple and Microsoft can go **** themselves. Leave mainstream OSes for the sheep.

Whatever you think of Microsoft v Apple, the product placement is laid on with a trowel.
