Microsoft bringing the heat – Laptop Hunter ads now showing on an iPhone near you
Microsoft as of late has been really pushing the whole “value” mentality when comparing Windows boxes to Apple powered ones. More or less, the gist of Microsoft’s latest “Laptop Hunter” ads were that Microsoft is more affordable and gives you more for less. They portray Apple computers as overpriced with the consumer paying a premium for a simple fruit logo on the machine. Microsoft while still very much having a majority of the computer market by user base percentage isn’t lying down and is pushing their offensive right into Apple’s home turf. As you can see above, the animated Laptop Hunter ads on that particular mobile site give Apple and iPhone users a chance to “see what kind of PC they are”. While Apple can’t really do anything about the ads as the site isn’t owned by Apple and last time I checked site owners can display whatever they want, I’m sure Apple is a bit uneasy having people classify their PC persona on their device. Granted, these ads can appear on any mobile platform software and hardware and aren’t exactly a direct assault on Apple by team Redmond. Still, it’s a bit amusing to see this particular combination…don’t you think?
