 So here we are with the Holiday advertising starting to begin and Apple Mac has started their Bash the PC Campaign! So over the last few months Microsoft has used the PC Vs. Mac Campaign. Well it’s about time Microsoft uses Apple’s ad’s to their advantage. It seems that the PC could have a good fourth quarter with the release of Microsoft Windows 7. This clash of the titans is very entertaining to say the least. I am still wondering why the Mac still carries a premium price tag. For one thing they are on the same hardware platform as a Windows PC. I wonder how many Mac Potential customers would be swayed to a PC knowing that its the same hardware under the hood.  That’s right Intel Processors & Chipsets can be found in a Mac today.

Moving on to The stability of the OS question. I was at a seminar recently that utilized a Mac for a presentation and watched it freeze and become non responsive. I couldn’t resist yelling out I’m A PC! Mac’s must have their fair share of glitches.  Most people are familair with the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) in older windows versions. Well MS Windows Vista & Windows 7 have increased the reliability.  Considering Hardware & Operating System Stability the PC wins out in the Price contest. I really can not understand the Mac’s pricing. What is it that gives it a premium Price? I dont think we can make the Apples Vs, Oranges comparison anymore. It is more a matter of spending 3 digits or 4 digits. Also I find it quite comical that Mac’s Ad campaign for Get a Mac starts with “Why your next PC should be a Mac!”  A Mac is a PC Funny how they adopted our Hardware Platform
