Microsoft launches propaganda action against the Mac
10 Aug 2010 - mac, windows
I see no other reason for this page to exist:
Where they make such idiotic claims such as:
Most Macs can't hook up to your TV unless you buy a converter dongle. Many PCs running Windows 7 are designed to connect directly to TVs
So, basically, the Mac you're most likely to want to connect to a TV (the mini) has hdmi right out of the box, while "many" PCs have hdmi built in? Well, my PC don't... And this is funny when this quote is also there:
You'll have to buy a separate hardware dongle to plug your Mac into a standard VGA projector. Most PCs with Windows 7 hook up easily.
So "many" to "most" PCs come with vga and hdmi ports, and how many of these have DVI - the most used connection for monitors?
And, ironically:
Most of the world's most popular computer games aren't available for Macs. And Macs can't connect to an Xbox 360. PCs are ready to play.
Not only is gaming moving FROM the PC platform to the consoles, Macs have lots of ways to connect to an Xbox 
And how about this stupidity:
Things just don't work the same way on Macs if you're used to a PC. For example, the mouse works differently. And many of the shortcuts you're familiar with don't work the same way on a Mac
Haha!
With a Mac, it's harder to set up secure sharing for your photos, music & movies, documents, and even printers with other computers on your home network. With HomeGroup, it's easy to connect all the computers in your house running Windows 7.
Wait, what? To share my music and photos, all I do is tick the "Share" checkbox in iTunes and iPhoto, if I want to secure it, I add a password. So in Windows 7 this is so much easier, so it's changed to what, one checkbox? Hmmm... Yeah, so they elaborate:
On a Mac, you have to manually set up photo sharing, manually set up music and movie sharing, manually set up file sharing, and manually set up printer sharing. It's easy to automatically and securely network with all the computers in your house when they're running Windows 7.
So my music, photos, files and printers are all automatically shared with everyone on the LAN in Windows 7, by default? Well, that just sucks. 
Apple's productivity suite file formats won't open in Microsoft Office on PCs. This can be a real hassle for Mac users sharing work documents with PC users.
Unless, of course, the documents are saved to open in them. Duh.
Macs only come in white or silver. PCs are available in a full spectrum of colors across a range of price points.
Right, they just forgot to add "though they all look like shit"
