Can't they come up with an original idea?! Just once?

A MacNN reader notes that Microsoft is planning to launch a new Switcher marketing campaign geared toward Apple users, according to the email from the company soliciting individuals who recently registered a Microsoft product. (Last Fall, Microsoft posted a "Switch confession" on its Website, which turned out to be a story based on an employee of an its marketing agency and was pulled by the company).

    "The marketing campaign called 'Sensible Solutions' kicks off in April and runs through the summer of 2003. Sensible Solutions will highlight computer professionals that have recently converted from Apple Computer products to Microsoft based systems. To be considered for inclusion in the Sensible Solutions marketing program, you must be a US resident with a minimum of 3 years experience as a computer professional. You must have used an Apple Computer product and a Microsoft based system as part of your work.... This correspondence is the result of information provided by the following companies or organizations: Microsoft, Apple, Adobe."

Perhaps, this time, one of the qualifications for inclusion in these M$ ads will be that you actually EXIST?

I highly doubt real people are involved. besides, mac people HATE windows. all of them. i dont know one mac user that doesnt say that mac is way easier than windows and that they would never ever switch to windows. that includes normal mac users, not just the ones i know in the FMS forums btw.

There's several well adjusted people here who use Macs and PCs.
