If you don't like the ads "think different" because you think they are too
dumb, then you should never say the word PC again. After all <<Also, a long time ago, IBM had a one of the biggest ad campaings ever simply called "think" with great success>>

As a former employee for an IBM subsidiary, I had forgotten about the THINK campaign. So basically we have Apple "thinking differently" by ripping off an old IBM ad. Real maverick of them. I also caught the show you were referring to with Steve B. I must say it is amazing to me how many seem to think that the DOJ has the unchallenged power to assume whatever measures they choose against MSFT. At some point the whole thing will end up in a courtroom somewhere and then the Justice Dept. may find themselves neutered again as a result of ignorance and lack of understanding. So far MSFT has avoided the bad publicity due to the nature of these sorts of cases but just as IBM did back in the late 70's and early 80's eventually they are going to step to the plate. Remember folks, there is nothing in the Windows program that keeps you from loading whatever you want onto your computer. If a company has a better product than there will be nothing to stop you from using it regardless of what MSFT bundles. That's what the DOJ cannot or will not see and that's what the majority of Microsoft haters refuse to acknowledge as fact.
