MS are no longer ignoring the 'get a Mac' ads, they have responded with a thing on their site called 'lets show the world what a PC really is'.

btw i dont understand the PC name, macs are technically personal computers as well, so that would suggest a windows based pc should be called a windows clone personal computer or wcpc for short

Yes, but do they put down the Mac in those ads? No.
