Comments on: BSOD on a Mac?

Apple's witty icon for Windows machines on your local network.

What's the big deal?

I thought it was funny. Apple has a sense of humor, but it is not like they are
spreading "Mac is better than Windows" jokes all over the place. It is only when
networking. Most home Mac users will never access a Windows PC over a
network, and therefore will never see that icon. Just let it go. Apple was nice
enough to create Boot Camp for people to run Windows, they also allow VMware
and Parallels on Mac too. So Apple isn't so evil. They just have a sense of
humor and were hoping people would get the joke and have a little chuckle.

Don't delude yourself.

"it is not like they are spreading "Mac is better than Windows" jokes all over
the place."

Really, what doyou call the Mac/PC commercials?

Also, don't try to fool yourself into thinking Apple let Windows onto their
hardware out of the goodness of their heart. How many more computers have
they sold since they made this move? And, let's not forget, this is only
possible because Apple finally gave in and admitted Intel processors are
better than their PPC processors. I can't tell you how satisfying that was after
hearing Mac users for year lay claim that PPC processors were far superior to
Intel and AMD.

Pathetic, Apple

Individuals taking jabs at MS is one thing, but for a large company to do such a
thing is just kind of sad and pathetic, not to mention signs of a company
suffering from an inferiority complex. The thinly-veiled jabs in their ads are
borderline at best.

By the way, I'm a Mac user myself, so don't scream fanboy. What's really funny is
how Apple feels the need to keep poking the giant, but MS continues to make
them look bad by not dignifying these petty hits with a response.
