Who cares
Its just advertising. Its no better or worse than a laundry detergent add telling me that their soap will get my clothes cleaner than their competitor. Apple has its ax to grind just as Microsoft does and buying based on either one of their adds is pure foolishness. Unless you like being a sheep and doing whatever someone on television tells you to do.
