I guess the point here would be that Stupid people use Mac's? Or that
stupid people can use Mac's?

How many years of education and experience should be required to
network two computers?

The snickering from IT professionals is generally nervous laughter as
their confronted with something they know
little about and react with the usual wintel biased anti-mac myths that
flow from ignorance.

The problem with the microsoft commercial wasn't the stock footage, or
the fact that the whole scenario with
the person in the ad was ridiculous. It was the fact that even though
there must be lots of people who have
switched from Mac to PC, Microslop made something up! It was their
marketing that was half-assed just like
most everything they do!
